Explore a comprehensive working group discussion on cognitive regime shifts and brain function breakdown in this 37-minute video from the Santa Fe Institute. Delve into topics such as correlation vs. causation, indicators of functional loss, and the relationship between genetic, cellular, cognitive, and behavioral levels in explaining brain failure. Examine mechanisms of functional loss ranging from cellular to network drop-out, and investigate the synthesis of neurology with complexity science concepts including adaptation, robustness in system aging, and early network-based risk indicators. Analyze the application of criticality and tipping points to regime shifts, measurement of long-range order and disorder across the brain, and methods for studying collective dynamics in aging and diseased brains. Gain insights into why systems break down, emergent properties, the mind-brain relationship, healthy vs. broken systems, neural networks, dynamical systems, and recurrent neural networks. Enhance your understanding of complex brain dynamics and their implications for cognitive function and dysfunction. Read more
