Hi Everyone,
** NOTE NEW CALL-IN INFORMATION BELOW **
Our next weekly LQS meeting is at 2 PM Eastern time Thursday, October 14.
We'll discuss the article in Nature Physics 6, 744 (2010) on "Emergent complex
neural dynamics" by Dante Chialvo. This article discusses some half-dozen
issues at the frontiers of neuroscience studies of the brain. Emergent behavior
arising from the interactions of the 100 billion neurons and 100 trillion
synapses is considered. The article is attached. You can also download it from
http://dmtpc.mit.edu/MaKaC/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=445.
