Whole-brain -models explicitly linking spontaneous local neuronal dynamics with the tractography based anatomical structure of the brain are able to explain the emergence of those spatial resting correlations. Nevertheless, resting activity is not only spatially structured but also shows a very stereotypical temporal structure which is characterized by rapid transitions switching between a few discrete FC states across time. In this talk, we introduce a powerful theoretical framework, which allows us to demonstrate that resting functional connectivityFC dynamics (FCD) constrains more strongly the dynamical working point of whole-brain models. Furthermore, using a very general neural mass model based on the normal form of a Hopf bifurcation we are able to demonstrate that the temporal dynamics of resting state fluctuations emerges at the edge of the transition between asynchronous to oscillatory behavior. Even more importantly, at that particular working point the global metastability of the whole brain is maximized. By optimizing the spectral characteristics of each local brain node, we discover the dynamical core of the brain, i.e. the set of nodes, which drives by oscillations the rest of the whole brain. This dynamical core can be interpreted as the “memory” core of nodes sustaining consciousness.

The Dynamics of Resting Fluctuations in the Brain
The grand average functional connectivity (FC) of a resting brain captures properly the well- structured spatial correlations between different brain areas. Whole-brain -models explicitly linking spontaneous local neuronal dynamics with the tractography based anatomical structure of the brain are able to explain the emergence of those spatial resting correlations. Nevertheless, resting activity is not only spatially structured but also shows a very stereotypical temporal structure which is characterized by rapid transitions switching between a few discrete FC states across time. In this talk, we introduce a powerful theoretical framework, which allows us to demonstrate that resting functional connectivityFC dynamics (FCD) constrains more strongly the dynamical working point of whole-brain models. Furthermore, using a very general neural mass model based on the normal form of a Hopf bifurcation we are able to demonstrate that the temporal dynamics of resting state fluctuations emerges at the edge of the transition between asynchronous to oscillatory behavior. Even more importantly, at that particular working point the global metastability of the whole brain is maximized. By optimizing the spectral characteristics of each local brain node, we discover the dynamical core of the brain, i.e. the set of nodes, which drives by oscillations the rest of the whole brain. This dynamical core can be interpreted as the “memory” core of nodes sustaining consciousness.

Computational modeling of brain and behaviour: a tutorial of in silico
experiments
In this talk, I will provide a tutorial on how to design computational
models to understand behavioral and neural data. I will give examples from
my research on patient populations.
P.S. This will be of interest to students who would like to learn to use
computational models as well as to experimental researchers who would like
to collaborate with modelers.

Tisztelt megismerést kutató kollegák!
Ezúton szeretném tájékoztatni Önöket, hogy a könyvhétre jelenik
meg új könyvem az alábbi adatokkal: Kiss Szabolcs (2015) A logika
egyedfejlődése és szociológiája. Szemelvények a
megismeréstudományok köréből. Budapest: L’Harmattan.
A könyvet 2015. június 7-én vasárnap 14 órakor fogom dedikálni a
Vörösmarty téren a L’Harmattan kiadó pavilonjánál, amely a 89-es
számú pavilon.
Mindenkit szeretettel várok!
Kiss Szabolcs
Alább ld. a könyv fülszövegét.
Kiss Szabolcs: A logika egyedfejlődése és szociológiája –
Szemelvények a megismeréstudományok köréből

ELŐKÉSZÜLETBEN!
L'Harmattan–Könyvpont közös kiadás
Mikortól és honnan tudják a csecsemők, hogy a tárgyak akkor is
léteznek, ha éppen nincsenek velük perceptuális kapcsolatban? Mikortól
és miként tulajdonítanak konzisztenciát a másik személy
vélekedésrendszerének a gyermekek?
Az újabb kísérleti eredmények fényében mi tartható és mi nem a
klasszikus piaget-i nézetekből? Hogyan értjük meg a saját
lelkiállapotainkat és egy másik személy elméjét? Mit is tudunk a naiv
tudatelmélet idegrendszeri alapjairól? Milyen rejtett lélektani ismertek
húzódnak meg a nyelvben? Mi a tudat? Hogyan hat a kultúra a
megismerésre? Többek között efféle kognitív pszichológiai,
megismeréstudományi kérdésekkel és problémákkal találkozhat az
olvasó a kötetben, amely a szerző utóbbi másfél évtizedben írt
fontosabb munkáit és empirikus beszámolóit tartalmazza. A könyvet a
megismerés iránt érdeklődő pszichológia, filozófia, szociológia és
pedagógia szakos hallgatók, illetve ezen tudományterületek már
végzett szakemberei és a kogníció iránt fogékony laikusok egyaránt
haszonnal forgathatják.

by

Title: Institutions and the Social Mind: How Evolved Psychology Fashions Cultural Norms
Abstract: In many domains, social institutions display highly specific features that are common across cultures. This can be explained if we consider how evolved capacities and preferences in human minds make certain kinds of norms more "natural" than others, that is, more intuitive and compelling. This is illustrated here in three domains, marriage institutions, ownership rules and religious morality. In these three cases, cultural transmission ends up favoring institutions that are closer to evolved intuitions.
