A computational role for bistability and traveling waves in motor cortex

Adaptive changes in behavior require rapid changes in brain states yet the brain must also remain stable. We investigated two neural mechanisms for evoking rapid transitions between spatiotemporal synchronization patterns of beta oscillations (13--30Hz) in motor cortex. Cortex was modeled as a sheet...
