Dissipation and spontaneous symmetry breaking in brain dynamics
نویسندگان
چکیده
We compare the predictions of the dissipative quantum model of brain with neurophysiological data collected from electroencephalograms resulting from high-density arrays fixed on the surfaces of primary sensory and limbic areas of trained rabbits and cats. Functional brain imaging in relation to behavior reveals the formation of coherent domains of synchronized neuronal oscillatory activity and phase transitions predicted by the dissipative model.

Study on two coupled relativistic superfluids with spontaneous symmetry breaking
In this Letter, we have studied two coupled relativistic superfluids with spontaneous U(1) symmetry breaking, using Poisson bracket technique. After constructing the commutators between thermo-quantities and field quantities, the equations of motion are obtained. These equations describe the system in the frame of two-constituent superfluid theory and provide a clear picture relating the symmet...
متن کاملPhase transition in inelastic disks
This letter investigates the molecular dynamics of inelastic disks without external forcing. By introducing a new observation frame with a rescaled time, we observe the virtual steady states converted from asymptotic energy dissipation processes. System behavior in the thermodynamic limit is carefully investigated. It is found that a phase transition with symmetry breaking occurs when the magni...
متن کاملSymmetry Breaking, Chiral Dynamics, and Fermion Masses
Spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is one of the main paradig.ns of particle physics. I will briefly review 1) the general history of SSB, 2) the universal features and descriptions of gap formation and chirM dynamics in the BSC-type mechanisms in condensed matter, nuclear, and particle physics, and 3) some open problems including the mass hierarchy in the Standard Model and beyond.
متن کاملComplex patterns arise through spontaneous symmetry breaking in dense homogeneous networks of neural oscillators.
There has been much interest in understanding collective dynamics in networks of brain regions due to their role in behavior and cognitive function. Here we show that a simple, homogeneous system of densely connected oscillators, representing the aggregate activity of local brain regions, can exhibit a rich variety of dynamical patterns emerging via spontaneous breaking of permutation or transl...
متن کاملFinite Dimensional Spin Glasses
We study the violation of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem in the three and four dimensional Gaussian Ising spin glasses using on and off equilibrium simulations. We have characterized numerically the function X(C) that determine the violation and we have studied its scaling properties. Moreover we have computed the function x(C) which characterize the breaking of the replica symmetry direct...
