Traveling patterns of neuronal activity—brain waves—have been observed across a breadth
of neuronal recordings, states of awareness, and species, but their emergence in the human …

Multichannel recording technologies have revealed travelling waves of neural activity in
multiple sensory, motor and cognitive systems. These waves can be spontaneously …

We propose and empirically support a parsimonious account of intrinsic, brain-wide
spatiotemporal organization arising from traveling waves linked to arousal. We hypothesize …

Cortical circuits generate patterned activities that reflect intrinsic brain dynamics that lay the
foundation for any, including stimuli-evoked, cognition and behavior. However, the …

Rich spatiotemporal dynamics of cortical activity, including complex and diverse wave
patterns, have been identified during unconscious and conscious brain states. Yet, how …

The large-scale activity of the human brain exhibits rich and complex patterns, but the
spatiotemporal dynamics of these patterns and their functional roles in cognition remain …

Cortical neurons in vivo fire quite irregularly. Previous studies about the origin of such
irregular neural dynamics have given rise to two major models: a balanced excitation and …

Neural plasticity transcends a range of spatio-temporal scales and serves as the basis of
various brain activities and physiologic functions. At the microscopic level, it enables the …

The anatomy of the brain necessarily constrains its function, but precisely how remains
unclear. The classical and dominant paradigm in neuroscience is that neuronal dynamics …

Propagating waves occur in many excitable media and were recently found in neural
systems from retina to neocortex. While propagating waves are clearly present under …
