When we watch someone move, get injured, or express emotion, our brain doesn’t just see it—it partially feels it. Researchers ...

Right now, the debate about consciousness often feels frozen between two entrenched positions. On one side sits computational ...

We conclude that brain states are shaped by local circuit mechanisms, large-scale connectivity and neuromodulation. A unified multiscale theory of cortical dynamics is relevant not only for ...

This correspondence between brain state and brain responsiveness (statedependent responses) is outlined at different scales from the cellular and circuit level, to the mesoscale and macroscale level.
