Cooperative searching for stochastic targets
Vadas Gintautas, Aric Hagberg, Luis M. A. Bettencourt
Spatial search problems abound in the real world, from locating hidden nuclear or chemical sources to finding skiers after an avalanche. We exemplify the formalism and solution for…
When is social computation better than the sum of its parts?
Vadas Gintautas, Aric Hagberg, Luis M. A. Bettencourt
Social computation, whether in the form of searches performed by swarms of agents or collective predictions of markets, often supplies remarkably good solutions to complex problems…
Experimental evidence for mixed reality states
Alfred Hubler, Vadas Gintautas
Recently researchers at the University of Illinois coupled a real pendulum to its virtual counterpart. They observed that the two pendulums suddenly start to move in synchrony if t…
Model Cortical Association Fields Account for the Time Course and Dependence on Target Complexity of Human Contour Perception
Vadas Gintautas, Michael I. Ham, Benjamin Kunsberg +7
Can lateral connectivity in the primary visual cortex account for the time dependence and intrinsic task difficulty of human contour detection? To answer this question, we created…
Spontaneous coordinated activity in cultured networks: Analysis of multiple ignition sites, primary circuits, burst phase delay distributions and functional structures
Michael I. Ham, Vadas Gintautas, Guenter W. Gross
All higher order central nervous systems exhibit spontaneous neural activity, though the purpose and mechanistic origin of such activity remains poorly understood. We explore the i…
A simple, low-cost, data-logging pendulum built from a computer mouse
Vadas Gintautas, Alfred Hubler
Lessons and homework problems involving a pendulum are often a big part of introductory physics classes and laboratory courses from high school to undergraduate levels. Although la…
