Brain coordination dynamics across spatiotemporal scales On the brain’s dynamical complexity: coupling and causal influences across spatiotemporal scales
The goal of this paper is to reflect on how neural ensembles affect one another, that is, to characterize their causal influences. The work is based on the tenets that function emerges at several levels of organization between microand macro-scale and unfolds on multiple time scales. Such dynamical context creates the condition for complexity and blurs the classical Shannonian definition of tra...
متن کاملThe Metastable Brain
Neural ensembles oscillate across a broad range of frequencies and are transiently coupled or "bound" together when people attend to a stimulus, perceive, think, and act. This is a dynamic, self-assembling process, with parts of the brain engaging and disengaging in time. But how is it done? The theory of Coordination Dynamics proposes a mechanism called metastability, a subtle blend of integra...
متن کاملPredicting protein dynamics from structural ensembles.
The biological properties of proteins are uniquely determined by their structure and dynamics. A protein in solution populates a structural ensemble of metastable configurations around the global fold. From overall rotation to local fluctuations, the dynamics of proteins can cover several orders of magnitude in time scales. We propose a simulation-free coarse-grained approach which utilizes kno...
متن کاملMetastable dynamics in heterogeneous neural fields
We present numerical simulations of metastable states in heterogeneous neural fields that are connected along heteroclinic orbits. Such trajectories are possible representations of transient neural activity as observed, for example, in the electroencephalogram. Based on previous theoretical findings on learning algorithms for neural fields, we directly construct synaptic weight kernels from Lot...
متن کاملCognitive Flexibility through Metastable Neural Dynamics Is Disrupted by Damage to the Structural Connectome.
Current theory proposes that healthy neural dynamics operate in a metastable regime, where brain regions interact to simultaneously maximize integration and segregation. Metastability may confer important behavioral properties, such as cognitive flexibility. It is increasingly recognized that neural dynamics are constrained by the underlying structural connections between brain regions. An impo...
