Travel via teleportation is currently an impossibility seen only in popular science fiction. However, a recent study finds should it ever become a reality, our brains are naturally set up to handle it.
According to NPR and UC Davis post doctoral scholar Lindsay Vass, the brain produces a signal whenever we begin navigating around any given area. A slow electrical oscillation, the signal originates in the Hippocampus, takes place throughout any time a person is attempting to navigate, and ends when the person does.
The study's intended use was to discover whether or not the signal played an active role in navigation, or was simply a byproduct of the brain's functioning.
