Self-organized criticality
DL Turcotte - Reports on progress in physics, 1999 - iopscience.iop.org
The concept of self-organized criticality was introduced to explain the behaviour of the
sandpile model. In this model, particles are randomly dropped onto a square grid of boxes …

Rapid local synchronization of action potentials: toward computation with coupled integrate-and-fire neurons.
The collective behavior of interconnected spiking nerve cells is investigated. It is shown that
a variety of model systems exhibit the same short-time behavior and rapidly converge to …

The dynamics of sand
A Mehta, GC Barker - Reports on Progress in Physics, 1994 - iopscience.iop.org
In recent years, sand has become a paradigm of complexity in physics; despite its everyday
familiarity, it has come to typify what is increasingly regarded as a'new'state of matter …
