Fractal Dimension of Cortical Functional Connectivity Networks Predicts Severity in Disorders of Consciousness

Recent evidence suggests that the quantity and quality of conscious experience may be a function of the complexity of activity in the brain, and that consciousness emerges in a critical zone on the axes of order/randomness and integration/differentiation. We propose fractal shapes as a measure of proximity to this critical point, as fractal dimension encodes information about complexity beyond...
