A functionally integrated and functionally specialized probabilistic network can sustain high φ.
(A) shows a functionally integrated and functionally specialized network; black arrows represent connections of weight ≥.5 and red arrows connections with weight ≤−.5. Weaker connections are not shown to reduce clutter; see Text S1, section 13. The elements operate according to the rules of a Hopfield network with T = .35. The network is initialized with a random firing patter and allowed to run for 800 time steps. (B) shows φ for each firing pattern that occurs during the run.
