Understanding how consciousness depends on large-scale brain interactions is key for both the neuroscience of consciousness and clinical translation. However, it requires moving beyond classical pairwise descriptions of functional connectivity, which cannot capture the collective dependencies emerging across multiple brain regions. Here, we use multivariate information theory measures to...
