The avalanche size distribution produced by cortical tissue and by the model. The probability of observing an avalanche of size S is plotted against avalanche size. Distribution from a cortical slice plotted in dark circles shows a linear portion that can be approximated by a power law with slope -3/2, shown as the dashed line. Data deviates from the power law near S = 35 because there are only 60 electrodes in the array and many sites are refractory after large events. Distribution from model plotted in open circles closely follows the data.
