This paper identifies pseudocritical and precritical states in brain dynamics, showing that neural networks can exhibit critical-like behaviors without a true critical point.

The paper shows that functional specification of neural layers leads to robust criticality in leaky neuron networks, independent of external stimuli strength.

This paper introduces a heterogeneous neural network model that reconciles discrepancies between theoretical and empirical brain criticality by incorporating synchronization effects in feedforward connectivity.
