Hi everyone,

My colleague Ning Jiang is hosting Georg Northoff (University of Ottawa)
next week. The title and abstract follow.

Spontaneous brain activity and stimuli interaction - Non-additive
rest-stimulus interaction and mental functions

Our brain shows strong spontaneous activity whose exact functional role 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
