Topic: non-linear excitable oscillators

Brain waves are one of the most important features of brain dynamics. Waves at a large scale are a direct consequence of the microscopic synchronization of neuronal populations. For this reason, simple models of coupled oscillators are widely used tools to analyse whole-brain dynamics, both in computational and data-driven studies. Experimental evidence suggests that, at this description level, large neuronal regions work close to the edge-of-synchronization, which according to theoretical models would confer optimal capabilities for information processing and computation. However, how this c
