- The tempo emerged from analyzing signals such as firefly flashes and bird calls.
- They propose brain processing as the mechanism, noting neurons operate well within this frequency range.
- The study, published in PLOS Biology, suggests a potential shared link among species, including humans, and calls for further research.
