Description
Milan Brázdil leads a 2026 hunt for brain oscillations faster than any class known before, recorded with hair thin electrodes inside the brain. Their team studied 15 patients with drug resistant epilepsy at four centers, using sampling fast enough to catch signals up to eight kilohertz. A custom detector sifted the recordings for brief bursts in that range, dubbed ultrafast oscillations.
The bursts appeared far more often in epileptic hippocampi than in healthy ones, with the two to three kilohertz band separating them best. Two shapes recurred: spindle like waves and sharp bursts that decay fast. Standard large contacts almost never caught them, so microelectrodes are essential. Brázdil and the team propose the signals as a fresh marker of overexcitable tissue.
