Just to warn potential readers: this article has nothing to do with quantum entanglement. It's linkbait for the title, something that's not surprising coming from New Scientist. Entanglement is used briefly as an analogy in the article, and not a very good one at that --- the interesting thing about quantum entanglement is that it allows stronger-than-classical correlations (Bell inequalities), but there is nothing in this article to suggest anything like that is going on in the brain. The original research, which is about a kind of phase locking going on between different parts of the brain, does sound interesting.
I am really sorry to see New Scientist behind a paywall. There is little point in posting articles that are behind paywalls on a site like HN.
sorry, the full article is coming up for me and I'm not a subscriber
Try reading more articles. Eventually you will get the request for registration.
Couldn't you just press the Close button?
NS will only let you read 3 articles - then it will ask you to register and you will be able to read another 7 in one month and then you need to PAY, since I normally buy the dead tree version this is just harassment!
It's a pretty weak paywall: Disable javascript, the article displays fine.
(Aside: Won't that approach - 'hiding' content from visitors - get them penalized by Google?)
"they analysed neuronal activity using arrays of electrodes implanted in the brains of two awake macaque monkeys"
Fantastic for the monkeys. What happened with them afterward?
