Network theory provides an intuitively appealing framework for studying relationships
among interconnected brain mechanisms and their relevance to behaviour. As the space of …

Network science is today established as a backbone for description of structure and function
of various physical, chemical, biological, technological, and social systems. Here we review …

Current electrophysiological or optical techniques cannot reliably perform simultaneous
intracellular recordings from more than a few tens of neurons. Here we report a …

Transfer Entropy Page 1 Chapter 4 Transfer Entropy In this chapter we get to the essential
mathematics of the book—a detailed discussion of transfer entropy. To begin with we look at …

Perception, cognition and behavior rely on flexible communication between microcircuits in
distinct cortical regions. The mechanisms underlying rapid information rerouting between …

Complex systems are increasingly being viewed as distributed information processing
systems, particularly in the domains of computational neuroscience, bioinformatics, and …

The problem of reconstructing nonlinear and complex dynamical systems from measured
data or time series is central to many scientific disciplines including physical, biological …

At early stages of development, neuronal cultures in vitro spontaneously reach a coherent
state of collective firing in a pattern of nearly periodic global bursts. Although understanding …

The brain exhibits complex spatio-temporal patterns of activity. This phenomenon is
governed by an interplay between the internal neural dynamics of cortical areas and their …

The availability of empirical data that capture the structure and behaviour of complex
networked systems has been greatly increased in recent years; however, a versatile …
