That explanation is still hypothetical, but Tononi thinks he has evidence to back it up. "In slow-wave activity, all the neurons fire for half a second," he explains. "Then they're totally silent for half a second." For complex bioelectrical reasons, that turns out to be a perfect way for the brain to lower the strength of the connections between its neurons. Intermittent firing makes the connections leaner and more efficient and may even allow the weakest ones to drop out, clearing the mind so that it can learn something new in the morning...

Prina’s work is both extremely sophisticated and extremely complex, and I run the risk of oversimplifying in attempting to offer a concrete description of it. However, for the sake of this discussion I would say that Prina’s work is founded on acknowledging, perhaps even embracing, several fundamental impossibilities in contemporary art making. The first has to do with the production of meaning. Prina told me that at a certain point in his career, taking a cue from the well known French cultural theorist Roland Barthes, he realized that it is impossible for a work...
...genius of Prina’s work seems to lie precisely in the agility and creativity with which he is able to play this field. He is a past master at creating extraordinarily rich and complex objects, thick concatenations of meaning. Prina has carefully planned out even the smallest details of both his works themselves and the way they are displayed, from the texture or color of his materials to the way the objects are attached to the floor or wall, and all of these details contribute to the layering of meaning in the end product. Unfortunately, I don?...
...film is essentially a complex mystery. On one level, it is simply a detective story; she is putting together a long series of clues together to find out what has happened. But it is also an investigation into how Mathilde’s instinct can be at once so certain and, at least seemingly, so wrong. And, finally, it is an exploration of her character. Perhaps the greatest suspense in the movie comes from wondering how much longer Mathilde—so resolute, yet so fragile—can survive her search...
