Complexity and dynamics of partially symmetric random neural networks
Nimrod Sherf, Si Tang, Dylan Hafner +4
Neural circuits exhibit structured connectivity, including an overrepresentation of reciprocal connections between neuron pairs. Despite important advances, a full understanding of…
Modeling Social Systems: Transparency, Reproducibility, and Responsibility
Maximino Aldana, Roni Barak Ventura, Heather Z. Brooks +13
Mathematical models of complex social systems can enrich social scientific theory, inform interventions, and shape policy. From voting behavior to economic inequality and urban dev…
From Chaos to Coherence: Effects of High-Order Synaptic Correlations on Neural Dynamics
Nimrod Sherf, Xaq Pitkow, Krešimir Josić +1
Recurrent Neural Network models have elucidated the interplay between structure and dynamics in biological neural networks, particularly the emergence of irregular and rhythmic act…
Incorporating Computational Challenges into a Multidisciplinary Course on Stochastic Processes
Mark Jayson Cortez, Alan Eric Akil, Krešimir Josić +1
Quantitative methods and mathematical modeling are playing an increasingly important role across disciplines. As a result, interdisciplinary mathematics courses are increasing in p…
