The brain is a complex, multiscale dynamical system composed of many interacting regions.
Knowledge of the spatiotemporal organization of these interactions is critical for establishing …

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 …

Adopting the framework of brain dynamics as a cornerstone of human consciousness, we
determined whether dynamic signal coordination provides specific and generalizable …

Recent breakthroughs in neurobiology indicate that the time is ripe to understand how
cellular-level mechanisms are related to conscious experience. Here, we highlight the …

Multimodal evidence suggests that brain regions accumulate information over timescales
that vary according to anatomical hierarchy. Thus, these experimentally defined “temporal …

Whole-brain fMRI signals are a subject of intense interest: variance in the global fMRI signal
(the spatial mean of all signals in the brain) indexes subject arousal, and psychiatric …

Recent years have witnessed a rapid growth of interest in moving functional magnetic
resonance imaging (fMRI) beyond simple scan-length averages and into approaches that …

Measurement of correlations between brain regions (functional connectivity) using blood
oxygen level dependent (BOLD) fMRI has proven to be a powerful tool for studying the …

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

Various theories for the neural basis of consciousness have been proposed, suggesting a
diversity of neural signs and mechanisms. We ask to what extent this diversity is real, or …
