Dynamical modeling of neural systems and brain functions has a history of success over the
last half century. This includes, for example, the explanation and prediction of some features …

Abstract Serotonergic hallucinogens, such as (+)-lysergic acid diethylamide, psilocybin, and
mescaline, are somewhat enigmatic substances. Although these drugs are derived from …

Out of equilibrium, a lack of reciprocity is the rule rather than the exception. Non-reciprocity
occurs, for instance, in active matter,,,,–, non-equilibrium systems,–, networks of neurons …

Pattern formation in physical systems is one of the major research frontiers of mathematics.
A central theme of this book is that many instances of pattern formation can be understood …

One of the major challenges in modern biology is to understand how the molecular
components of a living cell operate in a highly noisy environment. What are the specific …

Out of all the human senses, touch is the one that is most often unappreciated, and
undervalued. Yet, the surface of the human body, the skin, is actually one huge sheet of …

The subjects of stochastic processes, information theory, and Lie groups are usually treated
separately from each other. This unique two-volume set presents these topics in a unified …

From the stripes of a zebra and the spots on a leopard's back to the ripples on a sandy
beach or desert dune, regular patterns arise everywhere in nature. The appearance and …

We survey recent analytical approaches to studying the spatiotemporal dynamics of
continuum neural fields. Neural fields model the large-scale dynamics of spatially structured …

Surround modulation (SM) is a fundamental property of sensory neurons in many species
and sensory modalities. SM is the ability of stimuli in the surround of a neuron's receptive …
