Criticality in Neural Systems (Annual Reviews of Nonlinear Dynamics and Complexity (VCH))

Leading authorities in the field review current experimental and theoretical knowledge on
criticality and brain function.

The book begins by summarizing experimental evidence for criticality and self-organized
criticality in the brain. Subsequently, important breakthroughs in modeling of critical neuronal circuits and how to establish self-organized criticality in the brain are described.

A milestone publication, defining upcoming directions of research in this new fi eld and set to become the primary source of information on the brain and criticality.
