#NeuroScience: "When thousands of #starlings swoop and swirl in the evening sky, creating #patterns called murmurations, no single bird is choreographing this aerial ballet. Each bird follows simple rules of interaction with its closest neighbours, yet out of these local interactions emerges a complex, coordinated dance that can respond swiftly to predators and environmental changes. This same principle of #emergence–where sophisticated behaviours arise not from central control but from the interactions themselves–appears across #nature and #humanrights society.
…
The core idea of emergence inspired me to develop the concept I call the #entangledbrain: the need to understand the #brain as an interactionally complex system where functions emerge from distributed, overlapping networks of regions rather than being localised to specific areas."
