THE SOUNDS OF NEURONS TALKING In 2008, biologist and author Professor Brian Ford localised the sound of neurons communicating with one another. Cultured brain cells in the lab, when sending an impulse or what’s known as spiking, make a crazy little buzz sound around 40Mhz. Professor Ford took this sound and stretched it out to 20 seconds to hear what is inside the spike. He believes since nerve cells are the most developed,  they do more than just turn on and off, which is what sends or receives signals and where many believe thought to originate from….he believes that the thought is in the nerve cell.  Via. Image.  Click here to listen.
