This makes it difficult to imitate<br \/>\nbrain functioning, such as the process of learning that occurs even while the<br \/>\nbrain is in a deep state of sleep and has no external stimulation. <\/p>\n<h2>The research <\/h2>\n<p>The study was led by UAB Department of Physics\u2019 researchers<br \/>\nJordi Sort and Enric Men\u00e9ndez, in collaboration with the ALBA Synchrotron, the<br \/>\nCatalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2) and the ICMAB.
