Simultaneous recordings from large neural populations are becoming increasingly common.
An important feature of population activity is the trial-to-trial correlated fluctuation of spike …

Multichannel recording technologies have revealed travelling waves of neural activity in
multiple sensory, motor and cognitive systems. These waves can be spontaneously …

Trial-to-trial variability is a reflection of the circuitry and cellular physiology that make up a
neuronal network. A pervasive yet puzzling feature of cortical circuits is that despite their …

Far from the thermodynamic equilibrium, many precipitation reactions create complex
product structures with fascinating features caused by their unusual origins. Unlike the …

The design of modern convolutional artificial neural networks (ANNs) composed of formal
neurons copies the architecture of the visual cortex. Signals proceed through a hierarchy …

There is growing evidence that population-level brain activity is often organized into
propagating waves that are structured in both space and time. Such spatiotemporal patterns …

We report the design and application of a Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMs) device
that permits investigators to create arbitrary network topologies. With this device …

Neural activities in local circuits exhibit complex and multilevel dynamic features. Individual
neurons spike irregularly, which is believed to originate from receiving balanced amounts of …

In this paper we present a framework in which one can rigorously study the effect of spatio-
temporal noise on traveling waves, stationary patterns, and oscillations that are invariant …

Studies of sensory-evoked neuronal responses often focus on mean spike rates, with
fluctuations treated as internally-generated noise. However, fluctuations of spontaneous …
