Irreversible behavior drives neural flows in the hippocampus
Kaiyue Shi, Christopher W. Lynn
In the brain, neural activity undergoes directed flows between states, thus breaking time-reversal symmetry. At the same time, animals also exhibit irreversible flows between behav…

Tractable Model for Tunable Non-Markovian Dynamics
Matthew P. Leighton, Christopher W. Lynn
Non-Markovian dynamics are ubiquitous across physics, biology, and engineering. Yet our understanding of non-Markovian processes significantly lags that of simpler Markovian proces…

Decomposing Non-Markovian History Dependence
Matthew P. Leighton, Christopher W. Lynn
Non-Markovian stochastic processes are ubiquitous in biology. Nevertheless, we lack a general framework for quantifying historical dependencies. In this Letter, we propose an infor…
