Scientific discovery as meta-optimization: a combinatorial optimization case study

Yuan-Hang Zhang, Chesson Sipling, Massimiliano Di Ventra

Scientific discovery is fundamentally an optimization problem, defined by a vast ``state space'' of theories and experiments, and an evaluation criterion based on quality, novelty,…

A Critical Assessment of the Brain Criticality Hypothesis

Chesson Sipling, Yuan-Hang Zhang, Massimiliano Di Ventra

A major unresolved question in Neuroscience is: What is the origin of the observed scale-invariant correlations in neural activity? Many researchers support the ``criticality hypot…

Memory-induced long-range order drag

Yuan-Hang Zhang, Chesson Sipling, Massimiliano Di Ventra

Recent research has shown that memory, in the form of slow degrees of freedom, can induce a phase of long-range order (LRO) in locally-coupled fast degrees of freedom, producing po…

Phase-Space Engineering and Collective Dynamics in Memcomputing

Chesson Sipling, Yuan-Hang Zhang, Massimiliano Di Ventra

Digital Memcomputing machines (DMMs) are dynamical systems with memory (time non-locality) that have been designed to solve combinatorial optimization problems. Their corresponding…

Memory in neural activity: long-range order without criticality

Jay Sun, Chesson Sipling, Yuan-Hang Zhang +1

The "criticality hypothesis", based on observed scale-free correlations in neural activity, posits that the brain operates at a critical point of transition between two phases. How…

Memory-induced long-range order in dynamical systems

C. Sipling, Y. -H. Zhang, M. Di Ventra

Time non-locality, or memory, is a non-equilibrium property shared by all physical systems. Here, we show that memory is sufficient to induce a phase of spatial long-range order (L…

Collective dynamics and long-range order in thermal neuristor networks

Yuan-Hang Zhang, Chesson Sipling, Erbin Qiu +2

In the pursuit of scalable and energy-efficient neuromorphic devices, recent research has unveiled a novel category of spiking oscillators, termed "thermal neuristors." These devic…
