Communication among nonhuman animals is often presented as rigid and inflexible, reflecting emotional states rather than having any cognitive basis.Using the world’s smallest monkey, the pygmy marmoset (Cebuella pygmaea), with the smallest absolute brain size amongst simian primates as a case study, I review the role of cognition in the purpl
We study the spin and charge accumulation in a superconductor when a normal-superconductor tunnel junction is subjected to a Zeeman magnetic field and taken out of equilibrium by applying either a DC or AC voltage bias.We focus on a configuration which allows one to measure non-locally the spin-accumulation using a second ferromagnetic electrode.Ou
Neural avalanches are collective firings of neurons that exhibit emergent scale-free behavior.Understanding the nature and distribution of these avalanches is an important element in understanding how the brain functions.We study a pine tar soap woolworths model of neural avalanches for which the dynamics are governed by neutral theory.The neural a
