#braincriticality — Public Fediverse posts

My MSc student Allison (graduated this summer) has had her first manuscript published as a preprint. https://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.12.08.570818v1
Next step is to get it peer-reviewed and published in a reputable journal (suggestions?)
We looked at the Hurst Exponent in preterm babies shortly after birth and at term age, and compared to healthy terms. We found the HE started below 0.5 and then crossed the 0.5 line sometime around 39 weeks. Sensory and motor networks developed fastest. And finally, the younger you are born, the slower HE increases

Let me know what you think!

Very cool paper on the emergence of scale-invariant (long range temporal correlation; fractal dynamics; power law; small world; hurst exponent; etc) brain criticality from anesthetized to awake mice.

This is similar to what I'm doing in brain development of newborns (but with fMRI)
