Broadband Criticality of Human Brain Network Synchronization
Self-organized criticality is an attractive model for human brain dynamics, but there has been little direct evidence for its existence in large-scale systems measured by neuroimaging. In general, critical systems are associated with fractal or power law scaling, long-range correlations in space and time, and rapid reconfiguration in response to external inputs. Here, we consider two measures o...

I wish to comment on a paper recently published in the Journal of Neuroscience [1] and relate this paper to one previously published in PLOS Computational Biology [2]. In [1] and [2] among other results, a power law relationship was discovered in a measure of magnetoencephalography (MEG) intra-areal synchronization: the distribution of phase-locking intervals (PLI). However, in [1] the authors ...

The concept of the brain as a critical dynamical system is very attractive because systems close to criticality are thought to maximize their dynamic range of information processing and communication. To date, there have been two key experimental observations in support of this hypothesis: (i) neuronal avalanches with power law distribution of size and (ii) long-range temporal correlations (LRT...
متن کاملCriticality of the Brain and Criticality of Art
The ability of our brain to respond to small extrinsic or intrinsic perturbations points out that the brain as a complex system is operating close to instability, or criticality, because any system at the critical state has a very high sensitivity to tiny perturbations [Haken 1996]. Per Bak gives another reason why the brain should be critical: the input signal must be able to access everything...
متن کاملCriticality in the brain
Spontaneous brain activity has been recently characterized by avalanche dynamics with critical features for systems in vitro and in vivo. In this contribution we overview the experimental results and discuss a modelling approach implementing several physiological properties of living neurons which is able to reproduce experimental results for avalanche statistics. The temporal organization of a...
