Dynamical independence reveals anaesthetic specific fragmentation of emergent structure in neural dynamics
Conscious experience depends on the coordinated activity of neural processes that span multiple scales--from synapses to whole-brain dynamics. A recently introduced measure, dynamical independence, id...

In 1/3 of #insomnia, the #1 #sleep disorder, objective sleep recordings do not reveal abnormalities, contradicting subjective assessments. This has bugged sleep experts for decades! @rherzoga.bsky.social publishes a new study in @commsbio.bsky.social to understand this paradox: rdcu.be/edj22 1/n
