To further advance our understanding of the brain, new concepts and theories are needed. In particular, the ability of the brain to create information flows must be reconciled with its propensity for synchronization and mass action. The theoretical and empirical framework of Coordination Dynamics, a key aspect of which is metastability, are presented as a starting point to study the interplay of integrative and segregative tendencies that are expressed in space and time during the normal course of brain and behavioral function. Some recent shifts in perspective are emphasized, that may ultimately lead to a better understanding of brain complexity.
为了进一步深入了解大脑，我们需要新的概念和理论。特别是，大脑产生信息流的能力必须与它同步和大规模活动的倾向相协调。协调动力学的理论和经验框架，其中一个关键方面是亚稳性，被提出作为研究在大脑和行为功能的正常过程中，在空间和时间上表达的整合和分离倾向相互作用的起点。本文强调了一些最近的观点转变，这些转变可能最终有助于更好地理解大脑的复杂性。
