Network Dynamics of Visual Object Recognition
… study, however, the functional organization and network dynamics within these regions remain poorly understood, due to a lack of appropriate animal models as well as the spatiotemporal limitations of current non-invasive human neuroimaging techniques (e.g. fMRI, scalp EEG). To better understand …

From Contagion to Stability: Insights into Network Dynamics, Resilience and Stability
… of interconnected systems, such as financial networks, supply chains, software systems, and social networks, is a critical concern in today's highly connected world. While interconnectedness enables efficient economic transactions, rapid social learning, and adaptability to shocks, it also …

Scaling of unitary synaptic strength in the context of network dynamics
… consideration in understanding neuronal networks is determining what sets the unitary functional strength of a synaptic connection between two cells, and what meta-processes such mechanisms answer to. This question can be asked either mechanistically, by characterizing the molecular …

Constructing and Analyzing Neural Network Dynamics for Information Objectives and Working Memory
… certain key functions are encoded through the dynamics of neural circuits. In this regard, we pursue the ‘top-down’ modeling approach of engineering neuroscience to relate brain functions to basic generative dynamical mechanisms. Our approach encapsulates two distinct paradigms in which …

Efficient algorithms for analyzing large scale network dynamics: Centrality, community and predictability
<p>"Large scale networks are an indispensable part of our daily life; be it biological network, smart grids, academic collaboration networks, social networks, vehicular networks, or the networks as part of various smart environments, they are fast becoming ubiquitous. The successful realization of …

An Exploration of Neural Heterogeneity and its Consequences on Network Dynamics and Neuromodulation
… excitability (e.g. gain). Endowing a simple network model of excitatory neurons with this candidate mechanism and heterogeneous excitability. Measuring the net heterogeneity as a function of the average pairwise difference between neurons, we explore how this heterogeneity may be up- or …

An Integrated Two-stage Innovation Planning Model with Market Segmented Learning and Network Dynamics
… realistic word-of-mouth behaviour and other network dynamics. Thus, we propose a two-stage integrated model that utilizes the benefits of both the macro- and micro-level approaches. In the first stage, potential customers become aware of the innovation, which requires no decision making by …

Investigating neuronal network dynamics : scale-invariance, preferred firing rates, and plasticity via phase-shift encoding
Understanding how neuronal networks process information and adapt to external stimuli is critical for advancing our knowledge of neural plasticity and computation. Scale-invariant properties, which suggest self-organised criticality (SOC), have been observed in these networks, but the mechanisms …

Shifting Semantic Activation via Context: A Study of Aging and Semantic Network Dynamics in Word Production
… study uses the framework of the Swinging Lexical Network Hypothesis (SLNH; Abdel Rahman & Melinger, 2009, 2019) to a) determine whether thematic relations facilitate or interfere in word retrieval and b) explore whether the effects of thematic relations on retrieval are age-invariant or not. To …

Understanding Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza outbreaks in Western Cape Ostrich industry: did network dynamics enhance vulnerability? Christine Moore.
… epidemics in the future. This study utilized network analysis to understand how the movement of ostrich stock between farm locations in the Western Cape, South Africa may have contributed an epidemic outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) within the ostrich industry in 2011.

Temporal Evolution of Scholarly Communication
The general topic of the dissertation is citation network dynamics. I employ two perspectives on the evolution of citation networks in order to extend our understanding of the context of scientific progress. The first two sections develop a general mechanism to predict how papers gain attention and …
