Neural field theory of neural avalanche exponents

The power-law exponents of observed size and lifetime distributions of near-critical neural avalanches are calculated from neural field theory using diagrammatic methods. This brings neural avalanches within the ambit of neural field theory, which has also previously explained near-critical 1/f spec...

Summary:The power-law exponents of observed size and lifetime distributions of near-critical neural avalanches are calculated from neural field theory using diagrammatic methods. This brings neural avalanches within the ambit of neural field theory, which has also previously explained near-critical 1/f spectra and many other observed features of neural activity. This strengthens the case for near-criticality of the brain and opens the way for these other phenomena to be interrelated with avalanches and their dynamics.
