Experimental and theoretical approaches to global brain dynamics that draw on the latest research in the field.The consideration of time or dynamics is fundamental for all aspects of mental activity—perception, cognition, and emotion—because the main feature of brain activity is the continuous change of the underlying brain states even in a constant environment. The application of nonlinear dynamics to the study of brain activity began to flourish in the 1990s when combined with empirical observations from modern morphological and physiological observations. This book offers perspectives on brain dynamics that draw on the latest advances in research in the field. It includes contributions from both theoreticians and experimentalists, offering an eclectic treatment of fundamental issues.Topics addressed range from experimental and computational approaches to transient brain dynamics to the free-energy principle as a global brain theory. The book concludes with a short but rigorous guide to modern nonlinear dynamics and their application to neural dynamics.

Principles of Brain Dynamics Global State Interactions 1stTable of contents:

Part I: Foundations of Brain Dynamics

  • Introduction to Brain Dynamics: This section would set the stage, introducing the concept of the brain as a dynamical system, the limitations of traditional approaches, and the need for a global state perspective.

  • Mathematical and Physical Preliminaries: A review of the necessary mathematical tools and concepts from nonlinear dynamics, chaos theory, and statistical physics relevant to understanding brain function.

  • Neuronal Networks as Dynamical Systems: Discussing how individual neurons and their interactions form complex networks, and how these networks exhibit dynamic behaviors.

  • Information Processing in Dynamical Systems: Exploring how information is encoded, processed, and transmitted within dynamic neuronal architectures.

Part II: Global Brain States and Their Interactions

  • Brain Rhythms and Oscillations: Detailed examination of various brain rhythms (alpha, beta, gamma, etc.) and their functional significance, including how they arise from global interactions.

  • Phase Transitions and Criticality in the Brain: Discussing how the brain might operate near critical points, allowing for flexibility and adaptability in its states.

  • Attractors and Repellors in Brain Dynamics: Exploring the concept of stable and unstable states in brain activity, and how the brain transitions between them.

  • Synchronization and Desynchronization: Analysis of how different brain regions synchronize or desynchronize their activity and the implications for cognitive processes.

Part III: Cognitive Functions and Dynamical Principles

  • Perception and Sensory Processing: How the brain dynamically constructs perceptions from sensory input.

  • Memory and Learning as Dynamic Processes: Understanding memory formation, retrieval, and learning in terms of changes in brain dynamics and connectivity.

  • Decision Making and Action Selection: Exploring the dynamic mechanisms underlying cognitive choices and motor execution.

  • Consciousness and Global Brain States: Speculations and models on how global brain dynamics might relate to the emergence of consciousness.

Part IV: Disorders and Dynamics

  • Pathological Brain Dynamics: Examining how disruptions in global brain states can lead to neurological and psychiatric disorders (e.g., epilepsy, depression, schizophrenia).

  • Therapeutic Interventions from a Dynamical Perspective: Discussing potential new approaches to treating brain disorders based on manipulating brain dynamics.
