This study identifies hyper-hierarchical brain states in disorders of consciousness and links them to reduced behavioral responsiveness and altered network dynamics.

This paper identifies optimal brain stimulation strategies by mapping how responses vary with target location and brain state, reducing trial-to-trial variability.

This study compares how psilocybin and escitalopram affect brain reconfiguration in MDD patients using whole-brain models and perturbation analysis.

This study compares brain responses to psilocybin and escitalopram in depression using the Fluctuation-Dissipation Theorem, finding distinct non-equilibrium dynamics and responder differentiation.

This paper investigates how and when brain stimulation drives state transitions by analyzing subject-specific whole-brain models of neural dynamics.

This study uses a thermodynamics-inspired framework to model brain dynamics across menstrual cycle phases, finding that model-based biomarkers outperform hormonal and traditional connectivity measures in phase prediction.

This study investigates the reconfiguration of brain hierarchy in schizophrenia using resting-state fMRI and finds increased hierarchical organization linked to clinical symptoms and diagnostic separation.

Inception simulates long-term recovery in Disorders of Consciousness using whole-brain models and fMRI data, showing improved patient classification and potential for capturing pharmacological effects.

This study uses fMRI to investigate how neural dynamics in the brain resolve ambiguous motion perception, finding distinct interactions between frontal and parietal regions during transitions and sustained perceptions.

This study uses off-equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation theorem to analyze brain dynamics in Alzheimer's disease, finding increased deviations in MCI and decreased deviations in AD, suggesting potential biomarkers for early detection.

This study examines how brain network dynamics change across menstrual cycle phases and how age and progesterone levels influence these changes in healthy women.
