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 …

To explain how the brain orchestrates information-processing for cognition, we must
understand information itself. Importantly, information is not a monolithic entity. Information …

The pathology of Alzheimer disease (AD) damages structural and functional brain networks,
resulting in cognitive impairment. The results of recent connectomics studies have now …

Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) development is closely related to physics. In this paper, we
review the physical principles of BCIs, and underlying novel approaches for registration …

Diverse cognitive processes set different demands on locally segregated and globally
integrated brain activity. However, it remains an open question how resting brains configure …

A defining aspect of brain organization is its spatial heterogeneity, which gives rise to
multiple topographies at different scales. Brain parcellation—defining distinct partitions in …

A celebrated and controversial hypothesis suggests that some biological systems—parts,
aspects, or groups of them—may extract important functional benefits from operating at the …

The entropic brain hypothesis proposes that within upper and lower limits, after which
consciousness may be lost, the entropy of spontaneous brain activity indexes the …

Resting-state fMRI was first described by Biswal et al in 1995 and has since then been
widely used in both healthy subjects and patients with various neurologic, neurosurgical …

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 …
