The rapid and coordinated propagation of neural activity across the brain provides the
foundation for complex behavior and cognition. Technical advances across neuroscience …

Cognition can be defined as computation over meaningful representations in the brain to
produce adaptive behaviour. There are two views on the relationship between cognition and …

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

Transcranial ultrasound stimulation (TUS) holds great potential as a tool to alter neural
circuits non-invasively in both animals and humans. In contrast to established non-invasive …

Cognitive function requires the coordination of neural activity across many scales, from
neurons and circuits to large-scale networks. As such, it is unlikely that an explanatory …

The analysis of neural dynamics in several brain cortices has consistently uncovered low-
dimensional manifolds that capture a significant fraction of neural variability. These neural …

Various theories for the neural basis of consciousness have been proposed, suggesting a
diversity of neural signs and mechanisms. We ask to what extent this diversity is real, or …

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 …

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

Neural activity and behavior are both notoriously variable, with responses differing widely
between repeated presentation of identical stimuli or trials. Recent results in humans and …
