Explore the first lecture in a series on collective neuronal behavior and the critical brain hypothesis, presented by Professor Mauro Copelli from UFPE, Brazil. This 1 hour and 36 minute session is part of the ICTP-SAIFR School on the Origins of Life, Behavior and Cognition (March 10-21, 2025). Delve into fundamental concepts of how neurons function collectively and examine the hypothesis that the brain operates at or near critical states - a theory with significant implications for understanding neural processing, adaptability, and cognitive functions. Learn about the theoretical frameworks and experimental evidence supporting this perspective in neuroscience.
