Book Overview

Avalanche dynamics and correlations in neural systems.- Playing at the edge of criticality: Expanded whole-brain repertoire of connectome-harmonics.- Complexity of network connectivity promotes self-organized criticality in cortical ensembles.- From neurons to networks: critical slowing down governs information processing across vigilance states.- The challenge of taming a latching network near criticality.- Fading memory, plasticity, and criticality in recurrent networks.- Homeostatic structural plasticity can build critical networks.- Investigating Linear Stability and Criticality in Local Cortical Circuits from Multi-Unit Activity.- Optimal Readout of Neural Activity Near Criticality.- Critical behavior and memory function in a model of spiking neurons with a reservoir of spatio-temporal patterns.- Assessing criticality in experiments.- The role of criticality in flexible visual information processing.- Statistical models of neural activity, criticality, and Zipf's law.
