Learning the Brain's Dynamics as a Port-Hamiltonian System

We model human motor cortex during a wrist-extension BCI task as a port-Hamiltonian system (pHS): a conservative interconnection (gyroscopic coupling between neural phasors) plus a dissipative port (power-law energy decay driven by a GNN surrogate). A metriplectic integrator evolves the phasor state; a Fluctuation--Dissipation-consistent noise channel produces stochastic trajectories at body temperature. Training on \FitTrainN\ real EEG cycles (PhysioNet EEGMMIDB, 3 held-out subjects) reaches a test MSE of \FitTestMSE\ and passes three scale-free criticality rungs: near-critical branching ratio ($σ\approx1$), $1/f$ power-law spectrum, and long-range DFA correlations. The model generates closed-loop neuromodulation signals that restore phase-locking in silico when applied to de-synchronised inputs, suggesting a path toward structure-preserving BCI decoders.
