Synergy and long-range correlations in visual cortex near criticality

• Long-range correlations are a key signature of systems operating near criticality and indicate spatially extended interactions across large distances.¹
• In the brain, long-range correlations have been observed at multiple spatial scales alongside other criticality signatures.¹
• Synergy has been proposed to mediate long-range correlations in the visual cortex near criticality, underlying multi-scale coordination and high susceptibility.^{1 1}
