Spontaneous neuronal activity as a self-organized critical phenomenon
Neuronal avalanches are a novel mode of activity in neuronal networks, experimentally found in vitro and in vivo, and exhibit a robust critical behaviour. Avalanche activity can be modelled within the self-organized criticality framework, including threshold ring, refractory period and activity-dependent synaptic plasticity. The size and duration distributions con rm that the system acts in a c...
متن کاملSelf-organized Critical Model Of Biological Evolution
A punctuated equilibrium model of biological evolution with relative fitness between different species being the fundamental driving force of evolution is introduced. Mutation is modeled as a fitness updating cellular automaton process where the change in fitness after mutation follows a Gaussian distribution with mean x > 0 and standard deviation σ. Scaling behaviors are observed in our numeri...
متن کاملA Self-Organized Critical Universe
A model of the universe as a self-organized critical system is considered. The universe evolves to a state independently of the initial conditions at the edge of chaos. The critical state is an attractor of the dynamics. Random metric fluctuations exhibit noise without any characteristic length scales, and the power spectrum for the fluctuations has a self-similar fractal behavior. In the early...
متن کاملSelf-organized critical neural networks.
A mechanism for self-organization of the degree of connectivity in model neural networks is studied. Network connectivity is regulated locally on the basis of an order parameter of the global dynamics, which is estimated from an observable at the single synapse level. This principle is studied in a two-dimensional neural network with randomly wired asymmetric weights. In this class of networks,...
متن کاملModeling MultiAgent Systems as Self-Organized Critical Systems
The general framework of our project is to provide a computational model of physical complex processes for simulation needs. In Geophysics, the study of this kind of system has led to the concept of “Self-Organized Criticality”, to explain the “repeatability” of emergent phenomena in nature. To model Self-organized criticality within computers, the original part of the work is to propose a mult...
