Collective Neuronal Behavior and the Critical Brain Hypothesis - Class 2

Explore the second lecture in the series on collective neuronal behavior and the critical brain hypothesis, presented by Professor Mauro Copelli from UFPE, Brazil. This 69-minute talk is part of the ICTP-SAIFR School on the Origins of Life, Behavior and Cognition (March 10-21, 2025). Delve into advanced concepts of how neurons function collectively and examine the critical brain hypothesis, which suggests that the brain operates near critical points that optimize information processing. Learn about the theoretical frameworks and experimental evidence supporting this hypothesis, building upon foundations established in the first class of the series.
