Statistical mechanics of neocortical interactions: multiple scales of EEG.

Neocortical Dynamics at Multiple Scales : EEG Standing

The dynamic behavior of scalp potentials (EEG) is apparently due to some combination of global and local processes with important top-down and bottom-up interactions across spatial scales. In treating global mechanisms, we stress the importance of myelinated axon propagation delays and periodic boundary conditions in the cortical-white matter system, which is topologically close to a spherical ...

Calculating Consciousness Correlates at Multiple Scales of Neocortical Interactions

A lot of what we consider Consciousness (C) is conscious attention to short-term memories (STM). At least some STM are actively processed by highly synchronized patterns of neuronal firings, with enough synchrony to be able to be easily measured by scalp electroen-cephalographic recordings (EEG). Large-scale synchronous macrocolumnar EEG firings is a top-down process developed by a statistical ...

A series of papers has developed a statistical mechanics of neocortical interactions (SMNI), deriving aggregate behavior of experimentally observed columns of neurons from statistical electrical-chemical properties of synaptic interactions. While not useful to yield insights at the single neuron level, SMNI has demonstrated its capability in describing large-scale properties of short-term memor...
