Study: brain sits near—not at—critical point
A study in Physical Review Letters shows the human brain operates near—but not at—a critical point, after demonstrating that many previously reported 'criticality' signatures in brain data are likely
Job Hoppers Build Hidden 'Mobility Benefit': Study
New research from Cornell's ILR School finds that workers who change jobs frequently develop a 'mobility benefit' that makes their initial performance dips shallower and their ramp-up faster with each
