Dear colleagues,<br> <br>I am glad to announce the publication of the paper "On how network architecture determines the dominant patterns of spontaneous neural activity" in PLoS One:<br> <br><a href="http://www.plosone.org/doi/pone.0002148" target="_blank">http://www.plosone.org/doi/pone.0002148</a><br>
<br>Along the lines of previous studies, we have modeled spontaneous network activity as a stochastic, multivariate linear process, which allows us to show the relationship between the principal components of the spontaneous activity and the network architecture. The spontaneous activity simulated this way resembles the celebrated phenomenon of cortical songs. In addition, the equivalence between the principal components and the attractors of the spontaneous activity is demonstrated. <br>
<br>I will be happy to answer any questions about the paper.<br> <br>Sincerely,<br>Roberto.<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Roberto Fernández Galán, PhD<br>Assistant Professor of Neurosciences<br>Case Western Reserve University<br>
