    Metastability is basically a theory of how global integrative and local segregative tendencies coexist in the brain. [ 17 ] [ 18 ] The Operational Architectonics is centered on the fact that in the metastable regime of brain functioning, the individual parts of the brain exhibit tendencies to function autonomously at the same time as they ...
