This chapter focuses on dynamic coordination and how it is achieved, how it is related to cognitive functions and learning processes, and the role of neural oscillations in different frequency bands for dynamic coordination. It also considers modulation of coordination at the systems level and the relation of the mechanisms underlying coordination of behavior and cognition to neuropsychiatric disorders. In addition, the chapter examines dynamic coordination that arises from self-organization, the reduction in dimensionality associated with dynamic coordination, the theory of Coherent Infomax, Dynamic Pattern Theory, how optimization and synchrony are related to dynamic coordination, neural synchrony during human ontogeny, and how coordination contributes to perceptual and motor development. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the role of different frequency bands in sensory processing, attention and awareness, and motor circuits, together with how the prefrontal cortex modulates dynamic coordination.Less

Researchers in human cognitive neuroscience have long been trying to understand how thoughts can arise from billions of interconnected neurons. Despite the significant advances in human brain imaging over the last two decades, how activity is coordinated in the activated network remains unknown. This chapter examines the different modes of neural coordination that have been analyzed theoretically and experimentally and outlines the distinction between well-learned behavior and dynamic neural coordination in flexibly defined neural ensembles. Well-learned behavior can take advantage of prespecified neural routes while dynamic neural coordination can give rise to new percepts and/or creative behaviors. The chapter discusses the role of brain rhythms in human cognition in the context of dynamic coordination. It also explains why different frequency bands coexist and interact using a hypothetical but comprehensive schema.Less
