Criticality is the singular state of complex systems poised at the brink of a phase transition
between order and randomness. Such systems display remarkable information-processing …

Approaching limitations of digital computing technologies have spurred research in
neuromorphic and other unconventional approaches to computing. Here we argue that if we …

Brain function is a product of the balance between excitatory and inhibitory (E/I) brain
activity. Variation in the regulation of this activity is thought to give rise to normal variation in …

An inter-regional cortical tract is one of the most fundamental architectural motifs that
integrates neural circuits to orchestrate and generate complex functions of the human brain …

Cognitive function requires the coordination of neural activity across many scales, from
neurons and circuits to large-scale networks. As such, it is unlikely that an explanatory …

Balance between excitation (E) and inhibition (I) is a key principle for neuronal network
organization and information processing. Consistent with this notion, excitation-inhibition …

Over the last decade, we have observed a revolution in brain structural and functional
Connectomics. On one hand, we have an ever-more detailed characterization of the brain's …

Homeostatic mechanisms stabilize neuronal activity in vivo, but whether this process gives
rise to balanced network dynamics is unknown. Here, we continuously monitored the …

The past 25 years have seen a strong increase in the number of publications related to
criticality in different areas of neuroscience. The potential of criticality to explain various …

Inverse problems in statistical physics are motivated by the challenges of 'big data'in
different fields, in particular high-throughput experiments in biology. In inverse problems, the …
