Autonomy: An Information–Theoretic Perspective (2008)
Nils Bertschinger, Eckehard Olbrich, Nihat Ay, Jürgen Jost
We present a tentative proposal for a quantitative measure of autonomy. This is something that, surprisingly, seems to be missing from the literature, even though autonomy is considered to be a basic...
Thomas Natschläger, Nils Bertschinger, Robert Legenstein
In this paper we analyze the relationship between the computational capabilities of randomly connected networks of threshold gates in the timeseries domain and their dynamical properties. In...

Information and closure in systems theory (2006)
Nils Bertschinger, Eckehard Olbrich, Nihat Ay, Jürgen Jost
The notion of closure plays a prominent role in systems theory where it is used to identify or define the system in distinction from its environment and to explain the autonomy of the system. Here,...

What makes a neural microcircuit computationally powerful? Or more precisely, which measurable quantities could explain why one microcircuit C is better suited for a particular family of...
