The brain computes by processing information over time through interactions between connectivity and dynamics that are hard to model. Here we infer these interactions from data and find they better predict cognitive performance! www.nature.com/articles/s41... w/ @lindenmp.bsky.social
Check out our latest paper, led by Jason Kim, out now in Nature Communications‼️🧠

Intelligence is not just about having "strong" brain connections. It’s also about how efficiently the brain coordinates processing speed across regions.
