The Topological "Shape" of Brexit

Persistent homology is a method from computational algebraic topology that can be used to study the “shape” of data. We illustrate two filtrations — the weight rank clique filtration and the Vietoris–Rips (VR) filtration — that are commonly used in persistent homology, and we apply these filtrations to a pair of data sets that are both related to the 2016 European Union “Brexit” referendum in t...

Each has different strengths and weaknesses and, therefore, different implications for how the brain computes. For example, the strength of coarse coding is that it is robust to fluctuations in spike arrival times; downstream neurons do not have to keep track of the deta...
