When observed at rest, the brain exhibits spontaneous fluctuations in electrical and metabolic activity. At first glance, these fluctuations appear to occur in a random fashion. However, a deeper investigation shows that the fluctuations carry a surprising amount of information about how the brain is functionally connected. In this talk I will discuss how resting state fMRI, EEG, and MEG measures are being used to probe the functional connectivity of the brain.
