The collective activity of a population of neurons, beyond the properties of individual cells, is
crucial for many brain functions. A fundamental question is how activity correlations between …

Research on the dynamics of landslide displacement forms the basis for landslide hazard
prevention. This paper proposes a novel data-driven approach to monitor and predict the …

Population coding is the quantitative study of which algorithms or representations are used
by the brain to combine together and evaluate the messages carried by different neurons …

Precise spike coordination between the spiking activities of multiple neurons is suggested
as an indication of coordinated network activity in active cell assemblies. Spike correlation …

The identification of an appropriate multivariate copula for capturing the dependence
structure in multivariate data is not straightforward. The reason is because standard …

Neurons in many brain areas exhibit high trial-to-trial variability, with spike counts that are
overdispersed relative to a Poisson distribution. Recent work (Goris, Movshon, & …

All branches of ecology study relationships among and between environmental and
biological variables. However, standard approaches to studying such relationships, based …

Estimation of mutual information between random variables has become crucial in a range
of fields, from physics to neuroscience to finance. Estimating information accurately over a …

Standard methods for studying the association between two ecologically important variables
provide only a small slice of the information content of the association, but statistical …

Cascading blackouts typically occur when nearly simultaneous outages occur in k out of N
components in a power system, triggering subsequent failures that propagate through the …
