Major depressive disorder (MDD) is characterized by a multitude of psychopathological
symptoms including affective, cognitive, perceptual, sensorimotor, and social. The neuronal …

The ability to discriminate signal from noise plays a key role in the analysis and
interpretation of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measures of brain activity …

Global signal regression (GSR) is one of the most debated preprocessing strategies for
resting-state functional MRI. GSR effectively removes global artifacts driven by motion and …

Deep non-rapid eye movement sleep (NREM) and general anesthesia with propofol are
prominent states of reduced arousal linked to the occurrence of synchronized oscillations in …

The global signal is widely used as a regressor or normalization factor for removing the
effects of global variations in the analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) …

Research in cognitive neuroscience has extensively demonstrated that the temporal
dynamics of brain activity are associated with cognitive functioning. The temporal dynamics …

Temporal fluctuations in functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) have been
profitably used to study brain activity and connectivity for over two decades. Unfortunately …

The physiological underpinnings of the necessity of sleep remain uncertain. Recent
evidence suggests that sleep increases the convection of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and …

For several years it has been argued that neural synchronisation is crucial for cognition. The
idea that synchronised temporal patterns between different neural groups carries …

Healthy brain dynamics can be understood as the emergence of a complex system far from
thermodynamic equilibrium. Brain dynamics are temporally irreversible and thus establish a …
