The collective activity of a population of neurons, beyond the properties of individual cells, is
crucial for many brain functions. A fundamental question is how activity correlations between …

Brain–computer interfaces (BCIs) development is closely related to physics. In this paper, we
review the physical principles of BCIs, and underlying novel approaches for registration …

What mechanisms underlie flexible inter-areal communication in the cortex? We consider
four mechanisms for temporal coordination and their contributions to communication:(1) …

The term 'stress'–coined in 1936–has many definitions, but until now has lacked a
theoretical foundation. Here we present an information-theoretic approach–based on the …

I propose that synchronization affects communication between neuronal groups. Gamma-
band (30–90 Hz) synchronization modulates excitation rapidly enough that it escapes the …

We present a first-draft digital reconstruction of the microcircuitry of somatosensory cortex of
juvenile rat. The reconstruction uses cellular and synaptic organizing principles to …

Neural circuits sit in a dynamic balance between excitation (E) and inhibition (I). Fluctuations
in E: I balance have been shown to influence neural computation, working memory, and …

Entropy is a dimensionless quantity that is used for measuring uncertainty about the state of
a system but it can also imply physical qualities, where high entropy is synonymous with …

While signatures of attention have been extensively studied in sensory systems, the neural
sources and computations responsible for top-down control of attention are largely …

Frequency-specific oscillations and phase-coupling of neuronal populations are essential
mechanisms for the coordination of activity between brain areas during cognitive tasks …
