Maximizing information exchange between complex networks

BJ West, EL Geneston, P Grigolini - Physics Reports, 2008 - Elsevier
Science is not merely the smooth progressive interaction of hypothesis, experiment and
theory, although it sometimes has that form. More realistically the scientific study of any …

New insight in fractional differentiation: power, exponential decay and Mittag-Leffler laws and applications

JF Gómez-Aguilar, A Atangana - The European Physical Journal Plus, 2017 - Springer
Some physical problems found in nature can follow the power law; others can follow the
Mittag-Leffler law and others the exponential decay law. On the other hand, one can observe …

Complexity synchronization in living matter: a mini review

BJ West - Frontiers in Network Physiology, 2024 - frontiersin.org
Fractal time series have been argued to be ubiquitous in human physiology and some of the
implications of that ubiquity are quite remarkable. One consequence of the omnipresent …

[HTML][HTML] Complexity synchronization of organ networks

BJ West, P Grigolini, SE Kerick, PJ Franaszczuk… - Entropy, 2023 - mdpi.com
The transdisciplinary nature of science as a whole became evident as the necessity for the
complex nature of phenomena to explain social and life science, along with the physical …

Self-organizing complex networks: individual versus global rules

K Mahmoodi, BJ West, P Grigolini - Frontiers in physiology, 2017 - frontiersin.org
We introduce a form of Self-Organized Criticality (SOC) inspired by the new generation of
evolutionary game theory, which ranges from physiology to sociology. The single individuals …

Fractal structure of human and primate social networks optimizes information flow

BJ West, G Culbreth, RIM Dunbar… - Proceedings of the …, 2023 - royalsocietypublishing.org
Primate and human social groups exhibit a fractal structure that has a very limited range of
preferred layer sizes, with groups of 5, 15, 50 and (in humans) 150 and 500 predominating …

A theory of 1/f noise in human cognition

P Grigolini, G Aquino, M Bologna, M Luković… - Physica A: Statistical …, 2009 - Elsevier
The brain is probably the most interesting example of a complex network having 1/f
variability as determined through the analysis of EEG time series and …

Complexity and synchronization

M Turalska, M Lukovic, BJ West, P Grigolini - Physical Review E—Statistical …, 2009 - APS
We study a fully connected network (cluster) of interacting two-state units as a model of
cooperative decision making. Each unit in isolation generates a Poisson process with rate g …

Criticality and avalanches in neural networks

M Zare, P Grigolini - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2013 - Elsevier
Experimental work, both in vitro and in vivo, reveals the occurrence of neural avalanches
with an inverse power law distribution in size and time duration. These properties are …

Brain, music, and non-Poisson renewal processes

S Bianco, M Ignaccolo, MS Rider, MJ Ross… - Physical Review E …, 2007 - APS
In this paper we show that both music composition and brain function, as revealed by the
electroencephalogram (EEG) analysis, are renewal non-Poisson processes living in the …
