Neuroscientists have spent two decades testing whether the brain sits at a “critical point,” a phase transition between stable and unstable states that would give neural circuits maximum flexibility, ...
For decades, scientists have mapped attention, memory, language, and reasoning to separate brain networks — yet one big mystery remained: why does the mind feel like a single, unified system?
Scientists have shown that brain connectivity patterns can predict mental functions across the entire brain. Each region has a unique “connectivity fingerprint” tied to its role in cognition, from ...
Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about the big picture of artificial intelligence. The brain is unimaginably complex. Google and Harvard recently announced ...
COLUMBUS, Ohio – A new study provides the best evidence to date that the connection patterns between various parts of the human brain can tell scientists the specialized functions of each region.

fMRI scans of human (left) and mouse (right) brains revealed patterns of connectivity (circles) that change with age. [Ezra Winter-Nelson] The human brain operates as a network of interconnected ...
A recent study published in Physical Review Letters reveals that many widely used signatures of criticality in brain data may be statistical artifacts. They propose a more robust framework that, when ...
