@silencenbetween If you don't know him already, I think you might like William Bialek's research, and in particular his work on criticality in biological systems -- https://t.co/0Bh5MFhzYX, or this more recent talk of his on the topic https://t.co/eMGE55F8
This leads us to then to the big picture: The so-called criticality hypothesis. Do collective systems in biology, such as neuronal networks or animal groups, operate at critical points for optimal information processing? (see e.g. Mora& @wbialek https
@DrTomFroese @Entropy_MDPI That's quite cool. You might be interested in the modelling methods here https://t.co/J1VmBRn7Wp Potentially, you could assess criticality by inferring an Ising like model from data like in https://t.co/To8azMM50Q
