… Early in his career he focused on the visual and olfactory sensory systems. He pioneered the use of multi-electrode … for parallel recording from many of the retina's output neurons. Together with new approaches to visual stimulation, …

… measure the activity or “spiking” of many individual neurons and rhythms in the cortex and thalamus. Brown said … and extend his findings in people. For instance, the same neurons that they measured chattering away with spikes of … “gamma” rhythms, which are normally associated with new sensory information like sights and sounds, were especially …
