Optimal Input Representation in Neural Systems at the Edge of Chaos
Optimal Input Representation in Neural Systems at the Edge of Chaos
Shedding light on how biological systems represent, process and store information in noisy environments is a key and challenging goal. A stimulating, though controversial, hypothesis poses that operating in dynamical regimes near the edge of a phase transition, i.e., at criticality or the “edge of chaos”, can provide information-processing living …
