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 …

Consciousness and its neural mechanisms remain a mystery. Current neuroscientific
theories focus predominantly on the external input/stimulus and the associated stimulus …

The clinical and societal measurement of human sleep has increased exponentially in
recent years. However, unlike other fields of medical analysis that have become highly …

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 …

Throughout development, the brain transits from early highly synchronous activity patterns to
a mature state with sparse and decorrelated neural activity, yet the mechanisms underlying …

Neural oscillations are ubiquitous across recording methodologies and species, broadly
associated with cognitive tasks, and amenable to computational modelling that investigates …

Consciousness can be defined by two components: arousal (wakefulness) and awareness
(subjective experience). However, neurophysiological consciousness metrics able to …

The neurodevelopmental period spanning early-to-middle childhood represents a time of
significant growth and reorganisation throughout the cortex. Such changes are critical for the …

Mounting evidence suggests that during conscious states, the electrodynamics of the cortex
are poised near a critical point or phase transition and that this near-critical behavior …

A hallmark of electrophysiological brain activity is its 1/f-like spectrum–power decreases with
increasing frequency. The steepness of this 'roll-off'is approximated by the spectral …
