Fig. 2: Intrinsic ignition framework.

a Events were captured applying a threshold method⁶¹ (see purple area). For each event elicited (gray area), the activity in the rest of the network was measured in the time window of 4TR (see red area). b A binarized matrix was obtained, representing the connectivity between brain areas where activity was simultaneous. c Applying the global integration measure⁶², we obtained the largest subcomponent. Repeating the process for each driving event, we calculated the node-metastability computed as the standard deviation of the integration of each brain area over time. Figure adapted from^25,29,30.
