A broken time-reversal symmetry, i.e. broken detailed balance, is central to non-equilibrium physics and is a prerequisite for life. However, it turns out to be quite challenging to unambiguously define and quantify time-reversal symmetry…
MEG and EEG are noninvasive functional neuroimaging techniques that provide recordings of brain activity with high temporal resolution, and thus provide a unique window to study fast time-scale neural dynamics in humans. However, the…

The irreversibility in a statistical system is traced to its probabilistic evolution, and the molecular chaos assumption is not its unique consequence as is commonly believed. Under the assumption that the rate of change of the each…
To predict an epileptic event means the ability to determine in advance the time of the seizure with the highest possible accuracy. A correct prediction benchmark for epilepsy events in clinical applications is a typical problem in…
Unlike regular time evolution governed by the Schr\"odinger equation, standard quantum measurement appears to violate time-reversal symmetry. Measurement creates random disturbances (e.g., collapse) that prevents back-tracing the quantum…
