This book brings together leading investigators who represent various aspects of brain dynamics
with the goal of presenting state-of-the-art current progress and address future developments.
The individual chapters cover several fascinating facets of contemporary neuroscience from
elementary computation of neurons mesoscopic network oscillations internally generated
assembly sequences in the service of cognition large-scale neuronal interactions within and
across systems the impact of sleep on cognition memory motor-sensory integration spatial
navigation large-scale computation and consciousness. Each of these topics require appropriate
levels of analyses with sufficiently high temporal and spatial resolution of neuronal activity
in both local and global networks supplemented by models and theories to explain how different
levels of brain dynamics interact with each other and how the failure of such interactions
results in neurologic and mental disease. While such complex questions cannot be answered
exhaustively by a dozen or so chapters this volume offers a nice synthesis of current thinking
and work-in-progress on micro- meso- and macro- dynamics of the brain.
