spontaneous brain activity (ii)

The brain is spontaneously cycling through elaborate, distributed patterns of activity, which mimic activity patterns associated with sensory, motor, or cognitive events. This is a movie showing the instantaneous patterns of spontaneous brain activity on the dorsal surfaces of the both brain hemispheres.

This is great!

How can I cite you?

[jlvincent]

@navid81 hi there. If you would like to cite me, you can refer to the original article that we wrote in J. Neurophysiology (see tiny url link above).

Or, you can simply place a link to this youtube page in your citation.  I think youtube is an excellent online resource, and should be a valid reference for years to come. Feel free to contact me at vincent@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu

when is it positive and negative? of magnetic field

[VictorSaenger]

look how the activity integrates and segregates itself dynamically... Thats so beautiful. Love you work! I´m also working with resting state!

Best!
