Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

J. Samuel Sooter's research investigates the dynamics of brain activity, particularly focusing on the concept of criticality in neural systems. His work explores how the brain's functional organization relates to states of wakefulness and sleep, and how these dynamics are altered in neurological conditions. Sooter has published on the embedding of low-dimensional criticality within high-dimensional brain activity during wakefulness and has examined deviations from criticality during action and deep sleep using temporal renormalization group approaches. His recent publications also address the definition and measurement of proximity to criticality, and the decomposition of modulations between neuronal populations. Sooter collaborates extensively with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Srimoy Chakraborty and Antonio J. Fontenele, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications. His work has contributed to understanding emergent critical oscillations in the motor cortex of individuals with Parkinson's disease.
