Marginally subcritical dynamics explain enhanced stimulus discriminability under attention

Recent experimental and theoretical work established the hypothesis that cortical neurons operate close to critical states which describe a phase transition from chaotic to ordered dynamics. Such states are suggested to optimize several aspects of neuronal information processing. However, although c...
