Responses to transient perturbation can distinguish intrinsic from latent criticality in spiking neural populations
Jacob T. Crosser, Braden A. W. Brinkman
The critical brain hypothesis posits that neural circuitry operates near criticality to reap the computational benefits of accessing a wide range of timescales. The theory of criti…

Phase transitions in in vivo or in vitro populations of spiking neurons belong to different universality classes
Braden A. W. Brinkman
The "critical brain hypothesis" posits that neural circuitry may be tuned close to a "critical point" or "phase transition" -- a boundary between different operating regimes of the…

Metastability in networks of nonlinear stochastic integrate-and-fire neurons
Siddharth Paliwal, Gabriel Koch Ocker, Braden A. W. Brinkman
Neurons in the brain continuously process the barrage of sensory inputs they receive from the environment. A wide array of experimental work has shown that the collective activity…
