After over three decades, is this still a valid model of how brain dynamics implements cognition? This book provides a comprehensive collection of recent theoretical and experimental contributions addressing the question of stable versus transient neural population dynamics from complementary angles. These studies showcase recent efforts for designing a framework that encompasses the multiple facets of metastability in neural responses, one of the most exciting topics currently in systems and computational neuroscience UR - https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/1955/metastable-dynamics-of-neural-ensembles UR - https://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/53292 ER -
