The study of nonlinear dynamical systems (NDS) dates back to the late nineteenth century,
although the majority of the progress has occurred in the last 30 years, and the majority of …

Abstract Normalized Lempel-Ziv complexity, which measures the generation rate of new
patterns along a digital sequence, is closely related to such important source properties as …

Pattern matching is a simple method for studying the properties of information sources
based on individual sequences (Wyner et al 1998 IEEE Trans. Inf. Theory44 2045–56). In …

Neurons perform computations, and convey the results of those computations through the
statistical structure of their output spike trains. Here we present a practical method, grounded …

Random sequences attain the highest entropy rate. The estimation of entropy rate for an
ergodic source can be done using the Lempel Ziv complexity measure yet, the exact entropy …

The NG108-15 neuroblastoma/glioma hybrid cell line has been frequently used for toxin
detection, pharmaceutical screening and as a whole-cell biosensor. However, detailed …

Specific patterns of brain activity during sleep and waking are recorded in the
electroencephalogram (EEG). Time-frequency analysis methods have been widely used to …

We review several applications of Lempel–Ziv complexity to the characterization of neural
responses. In particular, Lempel–Ziv complexity allows to estimate the entropy of binned …

Even in the absence of external stimuli there is ongoing activity in the cerebral cortex as a
result of recurrent connectivity. This paper attempts to characterize one aspect of this …

In order to explore the possibility of identifying toxins based on their effect on the shape of
action potentials, we created a computer model of the action potential generation in NG108 …
