How critical is brain criticality?
Criticality is the singular state of complex systems poised at the brink of a phase transition
between order and randomness. Such systems display remarkable information-processing …

Information processing in living systems
Life depends as much on the flow of information as on the flow of energy. Here we review
the many efforts to make this intuition precise. Starting with the building blocks of information …
