Brain function is a product of the balance between excitatory and inhibitory (E/I) brain
activity. Variation in the regulation of this activity is thought to give rise to normal variation in …

A simple model is used to simulate seizures in a population of spiking excitatory neurons
experiencing a uniform effect from inhibitory neurons. A key feature is introduced into the …

From April 30th to May 4th, 2018 the Society for the Neural Control of Movement gathered
for their 28th annual meeting in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Over 280 scientists, students, and …

The study of the brain has profoundly shaped the evolution of computational learning
models and the history of neural networks. This journey began in the 1940s with Warren …

In nature we find widely varying systems can sometimes be described by a single set of
simple laws. For example, intermittent jumps of both sliding tectonic plates (during an …

Throughout the thesis, we will discuss, improve and provide a conceptual framework in
which methods based on recurrence properties of chaotic dynamics can be understood. We …

We extend the scope of the dynamical theory of extreme values to include phenomena that
do not happen instantaneously but evolve over a finite, albeit unknown at the onset, time …

We summarize the current status of accelerator based neutrino crosssection measurements.
We focus on the experimental challenges while also presenting the motivation for these …

A hipótese do cérebro crítico postula que as redes neuronais operariam em um regime de
atividade crítica, pois nela, o sistema otimizaria a transmissão, armazenamento e …

This dissertation articulates concepts from different disciplines and incorporates a
comprehensive study of complex systems. Many dynamical processes on complex …
