Persistence solves Fermi Paradox but challenges SETI projects
Osame Kinouchi
Persistence phenomena in colonization processes could explain the negative results of SETI search preserving the possibility of a galactic civilization. However, persistence phenom…
Physics of Psychophysics: Stevens and Weber-Fechner laws are transfer functions of excitable media
Mauro Copelli, Antonio C. Roque, Rodrigo F. Oliveira +1
Sensory arrays made of coupled excitable elements can improve both their input sensitivity and dynamic range due to collective non-linear wave properties. This mechanism is studied…
A precursor of the sciences of complexity in the XIX century
Osame Kinouchi
The sciences of complexity present some recurrent themes: the emergence of qualitatively new behaviors in dissipative systems out of equilibrium, the aparent tendency of complex sy…
Deterministic walks in random networks: an application to thesaurus graphs
O. Kinouchi, A. S. Martinez, G. F. Lima +2
In a landscape composed of N randomly distributed sites in Euclidean space, a walker (``tourist'') goes to the nearest one that has not been visited in the last τsteps. This proced…
Extended dynamical range as a collective property of excitable cells
Osame Kinouchi
Receptor cells with electrically coupled axons can improve both their input sensitivity and dynamical range due to collective non-linear wave properties. This mechanism is illustra…
