> Title: "*Ubiquity of criticality in neural function across scales: 
> recent empirical findings, speculations an caveats*"
>
> Abstract:
> The organisation of biological form and function is a classic problem,
> cut-crossing disciplines, which include a variety of complex 
> spatiotemporal
> patterns. Historically, work first focussed into understanding 
> oscillations
> and, more recently,  attention included scale-free collective 
> fluctuations,
> some of them shown to correspond to critical phenomena.  In this 
> lecture we
> will review our work across several scales characterising such phenomena
>  in brain function, proteins and mitochondria networks.
