Criticality is the singular state of complex systems poised at the brink of a phase transition
between order and randomness. Such systems display remarkable information-processing …

The rapid development of information technology has led to urgent requirements for high
efficiency and ultralow power consumption. In the past few decades, neuromorphic …

Over the past two decades percolation theory has been used to explain and model a wide
variety of phenomena that are of industrial and scientific importance. Examples include …

It is a fundamental challenge to understand how the function of a network is related to its
structural organization. Adaptive dynamical networks represent a broad class of systems that …

A celebrated and controversial hypothesis suggests that some biological systems—parts,
aspects, or groups of them—may extract important functional benefits from operating at the …

Cognitive function requires the coordination of neural activity across many scales, from
neurons and circuits to large-scale networks. As such, it is unlikely that an explanatory …

The brain is characterized by heterogeneous patterns of structural connections supporting
unparalleled feats of cognition and a wide range of behaviours. New non-invasive imaging …

Bioinspired hardware holds the promise of low-energy, intelligent, and highly adaptable
computing systems. Applications span from automatic classification for big data …

Integrating neural cultures developed through synthetic biology methods with digital
computing has enabled the early development of Synthetic Biological Intelligence (SBI) …

Homeostatic mechanisms stabilize neuronal activity in vivo, but whether this process gives
rise to balanced network dynamics is unknown. Here, we continuously monitored the …
