Continuous bump attractor networks (CBANs) are a prevailing model for how neural circuits represent continuous variables. CBANs maintain these representations by temporally integrating inputs that ...

The dynamics of non-integrable Hamiltonian systems, described by area-preserving mappings, are regulated by the KAM theorem. This states that the phase space of the system is made up of interwoven ...

In a new study, scientists have investigated the pervasive low-rank hypothesis in complex systems, demonstrating that despite high-dimensional nonlinear dynamics, many real networks exhibit rapidly ...

Complex systems may work better when their parts are not perfectly alike. Northwestern physicists found that carefully ...

Living organisms, our planet and even the entire universe are getting ever more complex with time. "Complex" doesn't just mean "complicated": it means that the parts of a system interact in ways that ...

In fields ranging from immunology and ecology to economics and thermodynamics, multi-scale complex systems are ubiquitous. They are also notoriously difficult to model. Conventional approaches take ...

This voice experience is generated by AI. Learn more. This voice experience is generated by AI. Learn more. The Boeing 737 MAX crisis is often described as a technical failure, but it was just as ...

Philanthropy, especially in the United States and Europe, is increasingly espousing the idea that transformative shifts in social care, education, and health systems are needed. Yet successful ...

Complex systems such as metabolic pathways, ecosystems, the Internet, or human societies are comprised of large numbers of components that interact according to rules that change over time and that ...

Newswise — With the rapid development of engineering technology, complex engineered systems are evolving toward a more integrated form—systems-of-systems (SoS). SoS has been widely applied in ...

New South Wales, Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia are currently affected by a massive complex low pressure system, dropping temperatures and bringing rain, hail, wind and snow. While complex low ...
