Scientists have theorized long a larger internal system monitors these individual gauges like a neural thermostat regulating average firing rates across the whole brain.

Without this thermostat they reasoned our flexible neurons would fire out of control making bad connections or none at all.

The average firing rate is regulated so well by this neural thermostat that the rates do not change between periods of sleep and wakefulness.

And as is the case with the noise-canceling technology used for example in some headphones the fluctuations that shake the beams interfere with the fluctuations of the light.
