The Cochlear Tuning Curve
Marcelo O. Magnasco
The tuning curve of the cochlea measures how large an input is required to elicit a given output level as a function of the frequency. It is a fundamental object of auditory theory…
DNA hybridization to mismatched templates: a chip study
Felix Naef, Daniel A. Lim, Nila Patil +1
High-density oligonucleotide arrays are among the most rapidly expanding technologies in biology today. In the {\sl GeneChip} system, the reconstruction of the target concentration…
Noise and Inertia-Induced Inhomogeneity in the Distribution of Small Particles in Fluid Flows
Julyan H. E. Cartwright, Marcelo O. Magnasco, Oreste Piro
The dynamics of small spherical neutrally buoyant particulate impurities immersed in a two-dimensional fluid flow are known to lead to particle accumulation in the regions of the f…
Bailout Embeddings, Targeting of KAM Orbits, and the Control of Hamiltonian Chaos
Julyan H. E. Cartwright, Marcelo O. Magnasco, Oreste Piro
We present a novel technique, which we term bailout embedding, that can be used to target orbits having particular properties out of all orbits in a flow or map. We explicitly cons…
Negative Resistance in Brownian Transport
Guillermo A. Cecchi, Marcelo O. Magnasco
We prove that negative incremental resistance cannot occur on 1D spaces like the circle or the line; we construct an explicit two-dimensional model on the cylinder, and its collaps…
On a common circle: natural scenes and Gestalt rules
M. Sigman, G. A. Cecchi, C. D. Gilbert +1
To understand how the human visual system analyzes images, it is essential to know the structure of the visual environment. In particular, natural images display consistent statist…
