A behavior-environment information loop drives sensory navigation
Kevin S. Chen, Matthew P. Leighton, Damon A. Clark +1
As organisms navigate the environment to locate critical resources, their behavioral actions must be tightly coupled to their sensory inputs. Here, we introduce an information-theo…
On the Information Required for Feedback Control
Matthew P. Leighton, Jose M. Betancourt, Thierry Emonet +2
Biological systems across scales, along with many engineering problems, must control noisy systems with limited information. Here we study information-limited feedback control of s…
Discrete turn strategies emerge in information-limited navigation
Jose M. Betancourt, Matthew P. Leighton, Thierry Emonet +2
Navigation up a smooth sensory gradient is one of the simplest behavioural tasks, and some organisms solve it by making continuous adjustments to their course. Bacteria instead emp…
Bifurcation enhances temporal information encoding in the olfactory periphery
Kiri Choi, Will Rosenbluth, Isabella R. Graf +2
Living systems continually respond to signals from the surrounding environment. Survival requires that their responses adapt quickly and robustly to the changes in the environment.…
