for behavior and mental features remains unclear. Moreover, the exact neuronal
mechanisms by means of which the spontaneous activity interacts with stimuli is not
yet explored; this is especially relevant for technologies like Brain-Computer
interface. I here present various lines of data supporting non-additive rather than
additive mechanisms of rest-stimulus interaction and how that is
relevant for mental features like self and consciousness<br></div><div><br></div></div>
