Inspired by Edinburgh’s legacy of big ideas (e.g., Hume), on a train leaving the city, I crafted a book proposal about big ideas in network neuroscience—how brain flows generate representations that compose our minds. The rest is history, and this book: shorturl.at/dSfwB

I wrote an essay for Princeton University Press's Ideas! The essay dovetails with the core ideas in my just-published book "Brain Flows: How Network Dynamics Compose the Human Mind"

The essay:

I was interviewed at Rutgers University about my just-published book "Brain Flows: How Network Dynamics Compose the Human Mind" (press.princeton.edu/books/ebook/97…)

My latest Neural Flows post!

"Emotions as global low-dimensional brain flow patterns"

Based on the book Brain Flows: How Network Dynamics Compose the Human Mind

Do brain connections just carry information between regions, or do they transform it?

Lab's latest out in Nature Neuroscience, led by Lakshman Chakravarthula: "Network geometry shapes the transformation of task representations across the human cortex"
