Most would agree, the brain is complex. But, beyond metaphor, does the brain's complexity demand a paradigm shift in how we study its structure and function? I argue that complexity manifests in three domains - connectivity, dynamics, and information - and that unlocking their interactions will greatly advance our understanding of brain and cognition.
大多数人都会认同,大脑是复杂的。但是,除了隐喻之外,大脑的复杂性是否要求我们在研究其结构和功能时采用一种范式转变?我认为,复杂性表现在三个领域——连接性、动态性和信息性——并且解开它们的相互作用将极大地促进我们对大脑和认知的理解。
