Critical Scaling of Novelty in the Cortex

Tiago L. Ribeiro, Ali Vakili, Bridgette Gifford, Raiyyan Siddiqui, Vincent Sinfuego, Sinisa Pajevic, Dietmar Plenz

The paper shows novel spikes in the cortex disproportionately influence neighboring neurons through power-law scaling, suggesting critical dynamics enable efficient novelty detection.

Parabolic avalanche scaling in the synchronization of cortical cell assemblies

Elliott L. Capek, Tiago L. Ribeiro, Patrick A. Kells, Keshav Srinivasan, Stephanie R. Miller, Elias Geist, Mitchell T. Victor, Ali Vakili, Sinisa Pajevic, Dante R. Chialvo, Dietmar Plenz

The paper shows cortical cell assemblies synchronize as scale-invariant parabolic avalanches with quadratic growth in duration, indicating critical dynamics in brain activity.
