Phase Transitions and Criticality in the Collective Behavior of Animals -- Self-organization and biological function
Pawel Romanczuk, Bryan C. Daniels
Collective behaviors exhibited by animal groups, such as fish schools, bird flocks, or insect swarms are fascinating examples of self-organization in biology. Concepts and methods…
Subcritical escape waves in schooling fish
Winnie Poel, Bryan C. Daniels, Matthew M. G. Sosna +4
Living systems such as neuronal networks and animal groups process information about their environment via the dynamics of interacting units. These can transition between distinct…
Discovering sparse control strategies in C. elegans
Edward D. Lee, Xiaowen Chen, Bryan C. Daniels
Biological circuits such as neural or gene regulation networks use internal states to map sensory input to an adaptive repertoire of behavior. Characterizing this mapping is a majo…
The basis of easy controllability in Boolean networks
Enrico Borriello, Bryan C. Daniels
Effective control of biological systems can often be achieved through the control of a surprisingly small number of distinct variables. We bring clarity to such results using the f…
Quantifying dynamical high-order interdependencies from the O-information: an application to neural spiking dynamics
Sebastiano Stramaglia, Tomas Scagliarini, Bryan C. Daniels +1
We address the problem of efficiently and informatively quantifying how multiplets of variables carry information about the future of the dynamical system they belong to. In partic…
Quantifying the impact of network structure on speed and accuracy in collective decision-making
Bryan C. Daniels, Pawel Romanczuk
Found in varied contexts from neurons to ants to fish, binary decision-making is one of the simplest forms of collective computation. In this process, information collected by indi…
