The criticality hypothesis: how local cortical networks might optimize information processing.
Early theoretical and simulation work independently undertaken by Packard, Langton and Kauffman suggested that adaptability and computational power would be optimized in systems at the 'edge of chaos', at a critical point in a phase transition between total randomness and boring order. This provocative hypothesis has received much attention, but biological experiments supporting it have been re...
متن کاملVoltage imaging of waking mouse cortex reveals emergence of critical neuronal dynamics.
Complex cognitive processes require neuronal activity to be coordinated across multiple scales, ranging from local microcircuits to cortex-wide networks. However, multiscale cortical dynamics are not well understood because few experimental approaches have provided sufficient support for hypotheses involving multiscale interactions. To address these limitations, we used, in experiments involvin...
متن کاملBeing Critical of Criticality in the Brain
Relatively recent work has reported that networks of neurons can produce avalanches of activity whose sizes follow a power law distribution. This suggests that these networks may be operating near a critical point, poised between a phase where activity rapidly dies out and a phase where activity is amplified over time. The hypothesis that the electrical activity of neural networks in the brain ...
متن کاملNeuronal avalanches and criticality: A dynamical model for homeostasis
The dynamics of microelectrode local field potentials from cortical slice cultures shows critical behavior. A desirable feature of criticality is that information transmission is optimal in this state. We explore a biologically plausible neural net model that can dynamically converge on criticality and that can return to criticality if perturbed away from it. Our model assumes the presence of a...
متن کاملParallel processing in human audition and post-lesion plasticity
Recent activation and electrophysiological studies have demonstrated that sound recognition and localization are processed in two distinct cortical networks that are each present in both hemispheres. Sound recognition and/or localization may be, however, disrupted by purely unilateral damage, suggesting that processing within one hemisphere may not be sufficient or may be disturbed by the contr...
