Gamma / Beta Oscillations (Neuroscience)

Rhythmic electrical oscillations in the brain at specific frequency bands — gamma (30–100 Hz) and beta (13–30 Hz) — associated with attention, awareness, and consciousness-related states across species. Peter Godfrey-Smith's argument centers on these oscillations as a 9 substrate-dependent feature of biological nervous systems rather than a substrate- independent computational property.

It was always the answer — once you named what you were actually solving for. The winter was the proof."
