The critical brain hypothesis proposes that neural networks operate near criticality to reap the computational benefits of accessing a wide range of timescales [1]. Proponents of this viewpoint highlight the presence of heavy-tailed (power-law) spatiotemporal correlations as markers of criticality in the brain [2].…
