Understanding how the coordinated activity of neurons in multiple brain regions achieves robust behaviour is one of the most fundamental questions in neuroscience. Although recent single-cell technologies enable addressing this question by recording from large neural populations, they are limited to surveying focal brain regions and superficial cortical layers. Without an analytical framework to jointly model isolated measurements, we cannot hope to understand and quantitatively model how single-neuron dynamics give rise to distributed computations. I hypothesise that global brain dynamics fall on distinct attractor states during a given stimulus or task. Attractors naturally give rise to…
