Curiosity as filling, compressing, and reconfiguring knowledge networks
Shubhankar P. Patankar, Dale Zhou, Christopher W. Lynn +6
Due to the significant role that curiosity plays in our lives, several theoretical constructs, such as the information gap theory and compression progress theory, have sought to ex…
How We Learn About our Networked World
Sophia U. David, Sophie E. Loman, Christopher W. Lynn +2
When presented with information of any type, from music to language to mathematics, the human mind subconsciously arranges it into a network. A network puts pieces of information l…
Relations between large scale brain connectivity and effects of regional stimulation depend on collective dynamical state
Lia Papadopoulos, Christopher W. Lynn, Demian Battaglia +1
At the macroscale, the brain operates as a network of interconnected neuronal populations, which display rhythmic dynamics that support interareal communication. Understanding how…
Efficient Coding in the Economics of Human Brain Connectomics
Dale Zhou, Christopher W. Lynn, Zaixu Cui +9
In systems neuroscience, most models posit that brain regions communicate information under constraints of efficiency. Yet, evidence for efficient communication in structural brain…
The physics of brain network structure, function, and control
Christopher W. Lynn, Danielle S. Bassett
The brain is a complex organ characterized by heterogeneous patterns of structural connections supporting unparalleled feats of cognition and a wide range of behaviors. New noninva…
Abstract representations of events arise from mental errors in learning and memory
Christopher W. Lynn, Ari E. Kahn, Nathaniel Nyema +1
Humans are adept at uncovering abstract associations in the world around them, yet the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Intuitively, learning the higher-order struct…
