How critical is brain criticality?
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 …

Temporo-spatial Theory of Consciousness (TTC)–Bridging the gap of neuronal activity and phenomenal states
G Northoff, F Zilio - Behavioural brain research, 2022 - Elsevier
Consciousness and its neural mechanisms remain a mystery. Current neuroscientific
theories focus predominantly on the external input/stimulus and the associated stimulus …

An increase of inhibition drives the developmental decorrelation of neural activity
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 …

Consciousness is supported by near-critical slow cortical electrodynamics
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 …

Human REM sleep recalibrates neural activity in support of memory formation
The proposed mechanisms of sleep-dependent memory consolidation involve the overnight
regulation of neural activity at both synaptic and whole-network levels. Now, there is a lack …

[HTML][HTML] Periodic and aperiodic neural activity displays age-dependent changes across early-to-middle childhood
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 …

[HTML][HTML] Modality-specific tracking of attention and sensory statistics in the human electrophysiological spectral exponent
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 …
