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 brain states, such as wakefulness and deep sleep, relate to deviations from or adherence to critical dynamics. Sooter has published research examining the low-dimensional nature of criticality within high-dimensional brain activity and has explored computational approaches, including temporal renormalization group methods, to analyze these phenomena. His recent publications also address the decomposition of interactions between neuronal populations and the prevalence of critical brain dynamics. Collaborations with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Srimoy Chakraborty and Antonio J. Fontenele, have resulted in multiple shared publications in this area. Sooter's work has also touched upon emergent critical oscillations in the motor cortex of individuals with Parkinson's disease.
