Neuronal oscillations wax and wane near criticality, switching between high- and low-power states. However, the link between this bistability and excitation-inhibition balance is not well understood. Using a computational model, we demonstrate that bistability is influenced by two key factors: the excitatory-inhibitory (E/I) ratio and the combined strength of excitatory and inhibitory activity (E+I). We developed algorithms to infer both metrics from electrophysiological data and validated them in vivo. In intracranial recordings from epilepsy patients, both E/I and E+I increased during seizures, while interictally, E+I remained elevated in seizure zones as E/I decreased--consistent with compensatory inhibition. Extending the framework to scalp EEG from eight disorders, we found that Alzheimers disease is better classified by E/I changes, whereas autism spectrum disorder and ADHD are distinguished by E+I alterations. Our findings highlight the importance of bistability in understanding EI regulation and offer handles for diagnostic and treatment decision support.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
