The past decade has seen growing support for the critical brain hypothesis, i.e., the possibility that the brain could operate at or very near a critical state between two different dynamical regimes. Such critical states are well-studied in different disciplines, therefore there is potential for a continued transfer of knowledge. Here, I revisit foundations of bifurcation theory, the mathematical theory of transitions. While the mathematics is well-known it's transfer to neural dynamics leads to new insights and hypothesis.
过去十年，临界大脑假说得到了越来越多的支持，即大脑可能在两种不同动力学状态之间的临界点或非常接近临界点运行。这种临界状态在不同学科中都有深入研究，因此有可能继续进行知识转移。在这里，我重新审视了分岔理论的基础，即过渡的数学理论。虽然数学理论广为人知，但它在神经动力学中的应用带来了新的见解和假设。
