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 …

The spontaneous replay of patterns of activity related to past experiences and memories is a
striking feature of brain activity, as is the coherent activation of sets of brain areas …

Electroencephalograms (EEGs) display a mixture of rhythmic and broadband fluctuations,
the latter manifesting as an apparent 1/f spectral trend. While network oscillations are known …

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 …

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 …

The computational capabilities of neuronal networks are fundamentally constrained by their
specific connectivity. Previous studies of cortical connectivity have mostly been carried out in …

Despite the absence of responsiveness during anesthesia, conscious experience may
persist. However, reliable, easily acquirable and interpretable neurophysiological markers of …

Scientific interest in serotonergic psychedelics (eg, psilocybin and LSD; 5‐HT2A receptor
agonists) has dramatically increased within the last decade. Clinical studies administering …

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