Similar oscillations were observed in motor cortex during periods of immobility by the groups of John Donoghue and Roger Lemon.
Neural oscillations have been hypothesized to be involved in the sense of time (Buhusi and Meck, 2005) and in somatosensory perception (Ahissar and Zacksenhouse, 2001) among other functions.

 MOST (Microvariability and Oscillations of Stars)
MOST is an astronomical microsatellite mission that had been proposed by the Canadian company Dynacon Enterprises Ltd and was launched on Jun. 30, 2003 by a three-stage Rockot launch vehicle from Pletesk into a low-Earth polar orbit (approx.
Also participating in the mission are the University of Toronto’s Institute for Aerospace studies, and the physics and astronomy department of the University of British Colombia.
Its scientific goals are to detect and characterize (1) acoustic oscillations in Sunlike stars, (2) reflected light from giant exoplanets, and (3) turbulent variations in Wolf-Rayet stars.

 Space Flight
The CGRO mission was to detect and observe Gamma rays emissions from pulsars, white dwarf stars, neutron stars, and fl holes.
Most gamma rays are blocked by the Earths atmosphere thus it is necessary to study these energetic particles from above the Earth.
The science goals of the MOST microsatellite are to probe the interior of stars and detect light form extasolar planets.
