The transition from adolescence to adulthood is a critical stage in the human lifespan during which the brain still undergoes substantial structural and functional change. The changing frequency composition of the resting state EEG reflects maturation of brain function. This study investigated (post)adolescent brain maturation captured by two independently but simultaneously recorded neuronal s...

The brain must dynamically integrate, coordinate, and respond to internal and external stimuli across multiple time scales. Non-invasive measurements of brain activity with fMRI have greatly advanced our understanding of the large-scale functional organization supporting these fundamental features of brain function. Conclusions from previous resting-state fMRI investigations were based upon sta...

Neural processes underlying the perceptual learning of the English /r-l/ phonetic contrast by native Japanese speakers before and after extensive perceptual identification training using feedback was investigated using fMRI. Relative to control conditions (English /b-v/ and /b-g/ contrasts), the /r-l/ contrast showed greater brain activity as well as functional connectivity (reflecting underlyi...

When a system’s activity alternates between a resting state (e.g. a stable equilibrium) and an active state (e.g. a stable periodic orbit), the system is said to exhibit bursting behavior. We use bifurcation theory to identify three distinct topological types of bursting in one-dimensional mappings and 20 topological types in two-dimensional mappings having one fast and one slow variable. We sh...
