A Symmetric Approach Elucidates Multisensory Information Integration

Description: This article shows that the Borsuk-Ulam theorem applies also to multisensory integration: two environmental stimuli from different sensory modalities display similar features when mapped into cortical neurons.

Symmetries, Information and Monster Groups before and after the Big Bang

Description: This article discusses how the energetic loss caused by projection from higher to lower dimensions and by the Monster group’s non-abelian features is correlated with the present-day asymmetry in the thermodynamic arrow.

Towards a Neuronal Gauge Theory

Description: This article proposes that the brain (and other self-organised biological systems) can be characterised via the mathematical apparatus of a gauge theory.

Collective behavior and evolutionary games - An introduction

Description: This article is an introduction to a special issue in Chaos, Solitons & Fractals with the goal of attracting submissions that identify unifying principles that describe the essential aspects of collective behavior, and which thus allow for a better interpretation and foster the understanding of the complexity arising in such systems.

Linear response at criticality

Description: In this article, the authors study a set of cooperatively interacting units at criticality, and prove with analytical and numerical arguments that they generate the same renewal non-Poisson intermittency as that produced by blinking quantum dots.

Stromatolites: why do we care?

Description: Article discussing stromatolites. The authors apply the method of Diffusion Entropy (DE) to the study of stromatolites by means of a two-dimensional procedure that makes it possible for us to compare the DE analysis to the results of a compression method.

Dynamics of Electroencephalogram Entropy and Pitfalls of Scaling Detection

Description: This article discusses dynamics of electroencephalogram entropy and pitfalls of scaling detection. Herein the authors study the time evolution of diffusion entropy to elucidate the scaling of EGG time series.
