  • By employing advanced computational tools, we were able to extract an extensive amount of information about network dynamics in both space and time from our recordings. (newswise.com)
  • To test if these dynamics could be used for information processing, the team created a simulation of the network and tried to teach it how to carry out a simple signal processing task-converting one waveform into another. (singularityhub.com)
