Abstract:While controlled experiments form the core of human brain researcha fundamental, yet far less studied, domain concerns the neuronal mechanism underlying freely-generated, spontaneous behavior. Intracranial recordings in conscious human patients offer an invaluable window into this question. Here we review relevant iEEG findings highlighting a universal mechanism underlying human free behavior: internally generated ultra-slow fluctuations in neuronal activity. These spontaneous firing dynamics are ubiquitous ac… Show more
