We define HIBS operationally as neural regimes characterized by increased global coherence, altered network topology, and enhanced effective connectivity. We outline methodological pathways for empirical investigation, propose quantifiable metrics for information integration, and examine implications for cognitive enhancement and brain\u2013computer interface (BCI) optimization.
