The complex brain: connectivity, dynamics, information
Abstract
Most would agree, the brain is complex. But, beyond metaphor, does the brain's complexity demand a paradigm shift in how we study its structure and function? I argue that complexity manifests in three domains - connectivity, dynamics, and information - and that unlocking their interactions will greatly advance our understanding of brain and cognition.
Keywords: brain dynamics; brain networks; complexity; connectivity; connectome; multivariate information.
