Criticality Creates a Functional Platform for Network Transitions Between Internal and External Processing Modes in the Human Brain
Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience December 1, 2021 Minkyung Kim, Hyoungkyu Kim, Zirui Huang et al.
Continuous switching between internal and external modes in the brain appears important for generating models of the self and the world. However, how the brain transitions between these two modes remains unknown. We propose that a large synchronization fluctuation of brain networks, emerging only near criticality (i.e., a balanced state between order and disorder), spontaneously creates...
