A reservoir of timescales in random neural networks
Merav Stern, Nicolae Istrate, Luca Mazzucato
The temporal activity of many biological systems, including neural circuits, exhibits fluctuations simultaneously varying over a large range of timescales. The mechanisms leading t…
Network Dynamics Governed by Lyapunov Functions: From Memory to Classification
Merav Stern, Eric Shea-Brown
In 1982 John Hopfield published a neural network model for memory retrieval, a model that became a cornerstone in theoretical neuroscience. A key ingredient of the Hopfield model w…
Reliable counting of weakly labeled concepts by a single spiking neuron model
Hannes Rapp, Martin Paul Nawrot, Merav Stern
Making an informed, correct and quick decision can be life-saving. It's crucial for animals during an escape behaviour or for autonomous cars during driving. The decision can be co…
Eigenvalues of block structured asymmetric random matrices
Johnatan Aljadeff, David Renfrew, Merav Stern
We study the spectrum of an asymmetric random matrix with block structured variances. The rows and columns of the random square matrix are divided into partitions with arbitrar…
Dynamics of Random Neural Networks with Bistable Units
Merav Stern, Haim Sompolinsky, L. F. Abbott
We construct and analyze a rate-based neural network model in which self-interacting units represent clusters of neurons with strong local connectivity and random inter-unit connec…
Transition to chaos in random networks with cell-type-specific connectivity
Johnatan Aljadeff, Merav Stern, Tatyana O. Sharpee
In neural circuits, statistical connectivity rules strongly depend on neuronal type. Here we study dynamics of neural networks with cell-type specific connectivity by extending the…
Fundamental Strings and Higher Derivative Corrections to d-Dimensional Black Holes
Amit Giveon, Dan Gorbonos, Merav Stern
We study aspects of d-dimensional black holes with two electric charges, corresponding to fundamental strings with generic momentum and winding on an internal circle. The perturbat…
