The unique dynamical features of the critical state endow the brain with properties which are fundamental for adaptive behavior. This proposal, put forward with Per Bak several years ago, is now supported by a wide body of empirical evidence at different scales demonstrating that the spatiotemporal brain dynamics exhibits key signatures of critical dynamics previously recognized in other complex systems. The rationale behind this program is discussed in these notes, followed by an account of the most recent results, together with a discussion of the physiological significance of these ideas.
