«The novelty of our work is the use of machine learning to discover and understand new physics of failure, through examination of
the recorded auditory signal from the experimental setup.
The simultaneous EEG and fMRI
recordings allowed us to explore how theta power fluctuations driven by the movie correlate with local synaptic activity in
auditory cortex, as indexed by the BOLD
signal (Magri et al., 2012; see Materials and Methods).
