Cortical Dynamics

Cortical dynamics refer to how the outer layer of the brain (the cortex) processes and responds to information over time. This involves complex patterns of neural activity, including synchronizing signals, oscillations, and changes in firing rates that support functions like perception, decision-making, and learning. These dynamic patterns enable the brain to adapt quickly to new stimuli, coordinate different regions, and execute behaviors smoothly. Understanding cortical dynamics helps us learn how the brain operates in real-time, highlighting the continuous and flexible nature of neural activity underlying our thoughts, feelings, and actions.
