Sixfold rotational modulation of a population-level neural signal with gaze direction.

relationship Note

Use explicit rotational-symmetry tests with competing periodicities and independent data, rather than judging a pattern by visual resemblance.

Connections to M9 P24, Alpha, Beta, Gamma and Epsilon remain research hypotheses. Shared geometry does not establish a shared physical mechanism.

   Human fMRI during controlled visual tracking

   summary

   Nau and colleagues found a sixfold directional pattern in human entorhinal-cortex activity during a visual tracking task. The result supports a grid-like representation of visual space and gives Vision Atlas a measured example of sixfold organisation in brain activity.

   finding

   Nau and colleagues found a sixfold directional pattern in human entorhinal-cortex activity during a visual tracking task. The result supports a grid-like representation of visual space and gives Vision Atlas a measured example of sixfold organisation in brain activity.

   limitation

   An fMRI population signal is not a direct image of individual grid cells or proof of a tetrahedral eye mechanism. This study does not test Fibonacci sequences, EMDR outcomes, or quantum error correction.
