Neuronal avalanches differ from wakefulness to deep sleep--evidence from intracranial depth recordings in humans.

Neuronal activity differs between wakefulness and sleep states. In contrast, an attractor state, called self-organized critical (SOC), was proposed to govern brain dynamics because it allows for optimal information coding. But is the human brain SOC for each vigilance state despite the variations in...
