Figure 1: Conceptual schematic.

From weighted brain networks (a), we estimate control points (b) whose large-scale regional activity can move the brain into new trajectories that traverse diverse cognitive functions (c). In c, we show the original state of the system (state 0), as well as four possible states (indicated by the blue circles) that are equidistant from state 0 in the state space (indicated by the black circular line), and which can be reached by trajectories that are more or less energetically costly (indicated by the height of the purple bars).
