The influence of network structure in neuronal information transmission

Understanding how neurons communicate is one of the most challenging open problems in neuroscience. In this talk, I will present some recent results aiming at formulating this problem from a mathematical and information-theoretic viewpoint.

Even though scalability and robustness to agent losses are often cited as advantages of multi-agent systems, almost all theoretical results apply to system with fixed compositions

Dario Bauso - University of Sheffield, United Kingdom - "Evolutionary Game Dynamics for Collective Decision Making in Structured and Unstructured Environments"

For a large population of players we consider a collective decision making process with three possible choices: option A or B or no option. The more popular option is more likely to be chosen by uncommitted players and cross-inhibitory signals can be sent

Yasumasa Fujisaki - Osaka University,Japan - "A characterization of algebraic connectivity of multi-agent systems with hierarchical network structure"

This talk deals with a characterization of a multi-agent system with hierarchical network structure having heterogeneous substructure based on its algebraic connectivity.
