Large-scale interactions mediating cognitive processes: Non-linear and non-separable
The human brain's cognitive abilities arise from complex interactions among highly interconnected brain areas. We have recently argued that interactions between oscillations at the same frequency (coherence-through-communication) cannot fully explain this coordination, due to the heterogeneity in cortical oscillation frequency and amplitude, as well as rapid cognitive state changes linked to aperiodic transients. Instead, we propose that non-linear interactions, which enable pattern recognition and integration beyond simple information relaying, are essential for understanding large-scale integration. NONLIN will investigate how non-linear mechanisms coordinate large-scale cortical networks…
