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 …

Although spiral waves are ubiquitous features of nature and have been observed in many
biological systems, their existence and potential function in mammalian cerebral cortex …

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

Neural oscillations are evident across cortex but their spatial structure is not well-explored.
Are oscillations stationary or do they form “traveling waves”, ie, spatially organized patterns …

Slow brain rhythms are attributed to near-simultaneous (synchronous) changes in activity in
neuron populations in the brain. Because they are slow and widespread, synchronous …

Spiral waves are a basic feature of excitable systems. Although such waves have been
observed in a variety of biological systems, they have not been observed in the mammalian …

Oscillations are a pervasive feature of neuronal activity in the cerebral cortex. Here, we
propose a framework for understanding local cortical oscillation patterns in cognition: two …

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 …

Resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has yielded seemingly
disparate insights into large-scale organization of the human brain. The brain's large-scale …

Human cognition requires the coordination of neural activity across widespread brain
networks. Here, we describe a new mechanism for large-scale coordination in the human …
