There is mounting evidence that neural networks of the cerebral cortex exhibit scale invariant dynamics. At the larger scale, fMRI recordings have shown evidenc

Neurowissenschaftler suchen nach Antworten auf die Fragen, wie wir lernen und Information speichern, welche Prozesse im Gehirn verantwortlich sind und in welche

Since 2003, when spontaneous activity in cortical slices was first found to follow scale-free statistical distributions in size and duration, increasing experim

The brain is made of billions of functional units that interact and give raise to its collective properties. The criticality hypothesis states that many these p

This volume develops an effective theory approach to understanding deep neural networks of practical relevance.
