Long time scales, individual differences, and scale invariance in animal behavior
William Bialek, Joshua W. Shaevitz
The explosion of data on animal behavior in more natural contexts highlights the fact that these behaviors exhibit correlations across many time scales. But there are major challen…
Deriving a genetic regulatory network from an optimization principle
Thomas R Sokolowski, Thomas Gregor, William Bialek +1
Many biological systems approach physical limits to their performance, motivating the idea that their behavior and underlying mechanisms could be determined by such optimality. Nev…
How accurately must cells measure the concentrations of signaling molecules?
Marianne Bauer, William Bialek
Information of relevance to the organism often is represented by the concentrations of particular molecules inside a cell. As outside observers we can now measure these concentrati…
How different are self and nonself?
Andreas Mayer, Jonathan A. Levine, Christopher J. Russo +3
Biological and artificial networks routinely make reliable distinctions between similar inputs, and the rules for making these distinctions are learned. In some ways, self/nonself…
