Mounting evidence suggests that understanding how the brain encodes information and
performs computations will require studying the correlations between neurons. The recent …

A widely discussed hypothesis in neuroscience is that transiently active ensembles of
neurons, known as" cell assemblies," underlie numerous operations of the brain, from …

Most brain functions involve interactions among multiple, distinct areas or nuclei. For
instance, visual processing in primates requires the appropriate relaying of signals across …

Background People with epilepsy are burdened with the apparent unpredictability of
seizures. In the past decade, converging evidence from studies using chronic EEG (cEEG) …

Over the last five decades, progress in neural recording techniques has allowed the number
of simultaneously recorded neurons to double approximately every 7 years, mimicking …

Epileptic seizures are traditionally characterized as the ultimate expression of monolithic,
hypersynchronous neuronal activity arising from unbalanced runaway excitation. Here we …

Mapping brain activity has received growing worldwide interest because it is expected to
improve disease treatment and allow for the development of important neuromorphic …

Balance of excitation and inhibition is a fundamental feature of in vivo network activity and is
important for its computations. However, its presence in the neocortex of higher mammals is …

Most neuroscientific studies have focused on task-evoked activations (activity amplitudes at
specific brain locations), providing limited insight into the functional relationships between …

Brain function relies on the coordination of activity across multiple, recurrently connected
brain areas. For instance, sensory information encoded in early sensory areas is relayed to …
