<strong>Abstract:</strong> Traveling waves of electrical activity have been observed in the hippocampus and cortex, but their origin and function is unknown. Two recent studies will be presented on 10-14 Hz cortical circular traveling waves during sleep spindles in humans and 4-10 Hz cortical traveling waves in awake and behaving monkeys. They point toward a new class of globally organized activity in the brain. </p>
