Background:

The brain's large-scale networks dynamically reorganize across timescales, even at rest.
Understanding these dynamics is crucial for cognition and consciousness.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) microstates correlate with resting-state networks but their dynamics are poorly modeled.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a sophisticated dynamical model for EEG microstate sequences.
To capture scale-free properties, including heavy-tailed residence time distributions and long-range temporal correlations.
To better understand the underlying mechanisms of brain network reorganization.

Main Methods:

Developed a dynamical network model with an excitable network between four nodes representing microstates.
Introduced two model extensions: adding hidden nodes or a controlling layer.
Compared model-generated sequences with EEG data from healthy subjects at rest.

Main Results:

The basic model reproduced microstate transition probabilities but not residence time distributions.
Both model extensions successfully captured heavy-tailed residence time distributions.
The extended models reproduced long-range temporal correlations and interspersed residence times observed in EEG data.

Conclusions:

Dynamical models with hidden nodes or controlling layers can accurately capture EEG microstate sequence properties.
These models offer a more sophisticated approach to understanding brain dynamics and network switching.
The findings advance our ability to model and interpret brain activity at rest.
