so there's a metric called modularity which measures um how organized your brain networks are and the brain is made up of different modules uh different networks and these networks can either be very communicating with each other or not so communic communicating with each other and and the more segregated they are we call that more modularity they're kind of separate entities they're they modular and it turns out we can measure that with fmri we can put someone in a scanner we can do this resting uh fmri scanning and then we can measure how modular your brain is versus my brain and all of us are very different levels of modularity is it more advantageous to have more modularity as opposed to less yeah it turns out that it seems to be more avation have more so we can predict more separateness of brain of function between areas yeah that the networks are sort of more independent that doesn't mean they don't talk to each other but at at at sort of Baseline they're more independent resting state connectivity yeah they're they're more they're more independent as opposed to uh less independent with each other
