Phase Transitions in Grey Matter: Brain Architecture and Mind Dynamics relates the complex systems that we know as 'mind' and 'brain' to simple concepts in physics such as 'phase transition' and 'criticality' and establishes a close mathematical link between them. A serious review of live issues in science - from interaction and correlation to emergence, scale invariance, attractors, noise and chaos-this book demonstrates their relevance to intelligence and consciousness. The result is a significant and useful portrait of what 'mind' currently means to science and aggregates widely dispersed and sometimes hard to find topics into one resource. Key highlights: --Provides a coherent basis for the existence of criticality in the brain, and shows how some of its main outstanding properties may be understood --Deeply explores the assumption that phase transition is the most relevant concept to understand the mind --Offers a strong foundation for those interested in making a complete and useful portrait of the brain This book is for advanced graduate and graduate students in physics, applied mathematics, biology and medicine.
