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 scope of human consciousness includes states departing from what most of us
experience as ordinary wakefulness. These altered states of consciousness constitute a …

Transfer Entropy Page 1 Chapter 4 Transfer Entropy In this chapter we get to the essential
mathematics of the book—a detailed discussion of transfer entropy. To begin with we look at …

The brain connectome collects the complex network architectures, looking at both static and
dynamic functional connectivity. The former normally requires stationary signals and …

Computational neuroscience models have been used for understanding neural dynamics in
the brain and how they may be altered when physiological or other conditions change. We …

How the cerebral cortex operates near a critical phase transition point for optimum
performance. Individual neurons have limited computational powers, but when they work …

Elucidating the intricate relationship between brain structure and function, both in healthy
and pathological conditions, is a key challenge for modern neuroscience. Recent progress …

Inspiration for artificial biologically inspired computing is often drawn from neural systems.
This article shows how to analyze neural systems using information theory with the aim of …

Exploiting the theory of state space models, we derive the exact expressions of the
information transfer, as well as redundant and synergistic transfer, for coupled Gaussian …

According to the critical brain hypothesis, the brain is considered to operate near criticality
and realize efficient neural computations. Despite the prior theoretical and empirical …
