Optimal Dynamical Range of Excitable Networks at Criticality
A recurrent idea in the study of complex systems is that optimal information processing is to be found near bifurcation points or phase transitions. However, this heuristic hypothesis has few (if any) concrete realizations where a standard and biologically relevant quantity is optimized at criticality. Here we give a clear example of such a phenomenon: a network of excitable elements has its se...
متن کاملExcitable Networks: nonequilibrium Criticality and Optimum Topology
Excitable media may be modeled as simple extensions of the Amari– Hopfield network with dynamic attractors. Some nodes chosen at random remain temporarily quiet, and some of the edges are switched off to adjust the network connectivity, while the weights of the other edges vary with activity. We conclude on the optimum wiring topology and describe nonequilibrium phases and criticality at the ed...
متن کاملExtended dynamical range as a collective property of excitable cells
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 illustrated by a network of axons modeled by excitable maps subjected to a Poison signal process with rate r. We find that, in a network of N cells, the amplification factor A (number of cells excited by a single signal event...
متن کاملTopological evolution of dynamical networks: global criticality from local dynamics.
We evolve network topology of an asymmetrically connected threshold network by a simple local rewiring rule: quiet nodes grow links, active nodes lose links. This leads to convergence of the average connectivity of the network towards the critical value K(c) = 2 in the limit of large system size N. How this principle could generate self-organization in natural complex systems is discussed for t...
متن کاملDynamical synapses causing self-organized criticality in neural networks
We show that a network of spiking neurons exhibits robust self-organized criticality if the synaptic efficacies follow realistic dynamics. Deriving analytical expressions for the average coupling strengths and inter-spike intervals, we demonstrate that networks with dynamical synapses exhibit critical avalanche dynamics for a wide range of interaction parameters. We prove that in the thermodyna...
