[HTML][HTML] The cognitive critical brain: Modulation of criticality in perception-related cortical regions

X Liu, X Fei, J Liu - NeuroImage, 2025‏ - Elsevier
The constantly evolving world necessitates a brain that can swiftly adapt and respond to
rapid changes. The brain, conceptualized as a system performing cognitive functions …

noise in reaction times: A proposed model based on Piéron's law and information processing

JM Medina - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2009‏ - APS
Piéron's law relates human reaction times to the intensity of a sensory stimulus by a power
function. The neural processes responsible for this nonlinear behavior are not understood. A …

Effects of multiplicative power law neural noise in visual information processing

JM Medina - Neural computation, 2011‏ - direct.mit.edu
The human visual system is intrinsically noisy. The benefits of internal noise as part of visual
code are controversial. Here the information-theoretic properties of multiplicative (ie signal …

Dopaminergic modulation of the spectral characteristics in the rat brain oscillatory activity

M Valencia, J López-Azcárate, MJ Nicolás… - Chaos, Solitons & …, 2012‏ - Elsevier
