Coordination dynamics in large-scale cortical networks

Areas of the cerebral cortex are known to be organized in large-scale networks that perform distinct cognitive functions. We postulate that cognitive microstates are instantiated as states of coordination among areas in large-scale cortical networks, and seek to understand the dynamics of the formation and evolution of cortical coordination states during cognitive task performance. This approach may provide useful insights for formulating principles of interaction in the construction of artificial multi-modular associative memory networks
