Neural networks of the brain form one of the most complex systems we know. Many qualitative features of the emerging collective phenomena, such as correlated activity, stability, response to inputs, chaotic and regular behavior, can,…
We introduce and study a new model of interacting neural networks, incorporating the spatial dimension (e.g. position of neurons across the cortex) and some learning processes. The dynamic of each neural network is described via the elapsed…
Networks of dynamical systems play an important role in various domains and have motivated many studies on the control and analysis of linear dynamical networks. For linear network models considered in these studies, it is typically…
Thermodynamics-informed neural networks employ inductive biases for the enforcement of the first and second principles of thermodynamics. To construct these biases, a metriplectic evolution of the system is assumed. This provides excellent…
We study the dynamics of bond-disordered Ising spin systems on random graphs with finite connectivity, using generating functional analysis. Rather than disorder-averaged correlation and response functions (as for fully connected systems),…
Hierarchies are of fundamental interest in both stochastic optimal control and biological control due to their facilitation of a range of desirable computational traits in a control algorithm and the possibility that they may form a core…
The integration and transmission of information in the brain are dependent on the interplay between structural and dynamical properties. Implicit in any pursuit aimed at understanding neural dynamics from appropriate sets of mathematically…
This paper deals with identifiability of undirected dynamical networks with single-integrator node dynamics. We assume that the graph structure of such networks is known, and aim to find graph-theoretic conditions under which the state…
In this work we study the dynamics of systems composed of numerous interacting elements interconnected through a random weighted directed graph, such as models of random neural networks. We develop an original theoretical approach based on…
Brain "rest" is defined -more or less unsuccessfully- as the state in which there is no explicit brain input or output. This work focuss on the question of whether such state can be comparable to any known \emph{dynamical} state. For that…
Neurons subject to a common non-stationary input may exhibit a correlated firing behavior. Correlations in the statistics of neural spike trains also arise as the effect of interaction between neurons. Here we show that these two situations…
We use the concept of a Kirchhoff resistor network (alternatively random walk on a network) to probe connected graphs and produce symmetry revealing canonical labelings of the graph(s) nodes and edges.
Models of simple excitable dynamics on graphs are an efficient framework for studying the interplay between network topology and dynamics. This subject is a topic of practical relevance to diverse fields, ranging from neuroscience to…
Continuous-time Markov chains have been successful in modelling systems across numerous fields, with currents being fundamental entities that describe the flows of energy, particles, individuals, chemical species, information, or other…

We study the stochastic parallel dynamics of Ising spin systems defined on finitely connected directed random graphs with arbitrary degree distributions, using generating functional analysis. For fully asymmetric graphs the dynamics of the…
Many time-evolving systems in nature, society and technology leave traces of the interactions within them. These interactions form temporal networks that reflect the states of the systems. In this work, we pursue a coarse-grained…
