Nature displays intricate, self-organized structures and behaviors that often emerge from simple underlying rules. This project will explore and unify fundamental regimes of self-organization, and apply them to explain phenomena in space, plasma, and wave physics, including making key inputs to the international STEREO space mission. In a core initiative, sophisticated tools from these fields will be transfered and adapted to analyze self-organized brain dynamics, leading to the first self-consistent "working brain" model. The results of this innovation will be used to develop new imaging technologies, to probe brain function via the new windows they open, and to exploit them commercially.

自然界展示了复杂的、自组织的结构和行为，这些结构和行为往往来自简单的潜在规则。该项目将探索和统一自组织的基本机制，并将它们应用于解释空间、等离子体和波物理中的现象，包括为国际立体空间任务提供关键投入。在一项核心计划中，来自这些领域的复杂工具将被转移并调整以分析自组织的大脑动力学，从而导致第一个自我一致的“工作大脑”模型。这项创新的成果将用于开发新的成像技术，通过它们打开的新窗口来探测大脑功能，并将其用于商业开发。
