Critical real-world neurocognitive processes, such as settling into a conversation and neurophysiological fluctuations, vary over minutes-to-days in real-world environments. We harnessed simultaneous multi-electrode intracranial and video recordings in twenty people during a week of unconstrained, spontaneous behavior. Using dynamical deep learning algorithms, we found neurodynamics linked to...
