COVID-19 epidemiology as emergent behavior on a dynamic transmission forest
Niket Thakkar, Mike Famulare
In this paper we create a compartmental, stochastic process model of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, where the process's mean and variance have distinct dynamics. The model is fit to time…
Has wild poliovirus been eliminated from Nigeria?
Michael Famulare
Wild poliovirus type 3 (WPV3) has not been seen anywhere since the last case of WPV3-associated paralysis in Nigeria in November 2012. At the time of writing, the most recent case…
Adaptive probabilistic neural coding from deterministic spiking neurons: analysis from first principles
Michael Famulare, Adrienne Fairhall
A neuron transforms its input into output spikes, and this transformation is the basic unit of computation in the nervous system. The spiking response of the neuron to a complex, t…
On stochastic differential equation models for ion channel noise in Hodgkin-Huxley neurons
Joshua H. Goldwyn, Nikita S. Imennov, Michael Famulare +1
The random transitions of ion channels between conducting and non-conducting states generate a source of internal fluctuations in a neuron, known as channel noise. The standard met…
Feature selection in simple neurons: how coding depends on spiking dynamics
Michael Famulare, Adrienne L. Fairhall
The relationship between a neuron's complex inputs and its spiking output defines the neuron's coding strategy. This is frequently and effectively modeled phenomenologically by one…
High Sensitivity Torsion Balance Tests for LISA Proof Mass Modeling
S. Schlamminger, C. A. Hagedorn, M. G. Famulare +2
We have built a highly sensitive torsion balance to investigate small forces between closely spaced gold coated surfaces. Such forces will occur between the LISA proof mass and its…
