title: Synchrony, from cognition to seizure.
abstract: It could seem strange that a same neuro-physiological mechanism provides for both normal and critical cerebral activity. While describing the basics of "cognitive" synchronies we will contrast them with the "critical" one for their differentiation and their non-rhythmic properties. Lastly we will speculate on their significance in the recently described seizure anticipation paradigm and on the possibility that they could share common generators.
