Microscopic metallic spheres found in the Pacific Ocean are likely the result of humanmade industrial pollution rather than remnants of an interstellar meteor. Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb initially suggested that the spheres could contain signatures of alien technology, but independent analysis now suggests that they are more likely a byproduct of burning coal on Earth. Several studies have cast doubt on the extraterrestrial origins of the spheres, including questions about the meteor's interstellar nature, the difficulty of proving the spheres came from that specific meteor, and the similarity of their composition to coal ash contaminants. While it is still possible that the spheres came from outside our Solar System, the available evidence suggests a more local origin. [Extracted from the article]

A preprint abstract from biorxiv.org discusses the challenges posed by brain tissue motion in high-density extracellular recordings in both human and non-human animals. The article introduces a robust algorithm called DREDge (Decentralized Registration of Electrophysiology Data) that can effectively correct for motion in these recordings. DREDge is able to estimate motion from spikes in the action potential frequency band and track motion at high temporal resolution in the local field potential frequency band. The algorithm has been successfully applied to human intraoperative recordings, nonhuman primate recordings, and acute mouse recordings, demonstrating its potential for automated and scalable registration of electrophysiological data across different species and probe types. The article emphasizes the importance of these advancements in enabling downstream scientific analyses of these rich datasets. [Extracted from the article]
