Consciousness is supported by near-critical slow cortical electrodynamics
This strikes me as totally unsurprising.  How could it be otherwise?  It's basically saying that a brain normally operates in an interesting dynamical mode: not chaotic, and not very regular.  Wow?  If it were chaotic, we wouldn't have coherent or consistent behavior at any scale.  If overly regular, we'd be incredibly dull and unable to respond to the environment.<p>You could do this with a computer.  If your signals coming from the computer are either too regular or too unexpected, then it's probably broken.  This sort of thing might be useful diagnostically, but doesn't really provide us with greater understanding...
