    Title: On Nonlinear Schrödinger Type Equations: Wave Modulation and Mathematical Analysis Abstract: The nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation describes the evolution of slowly varying packets of quasi-monochromatic waves in weakly nonlinear dispersive media. The NLS equation with soliton solutions is one of the significant and widely pursued research areas on the nonlinear wave motions. Sub-studies on […]

    Title: How well do neurons, humans, and artificial neural networks predict? Abstract: Sensory prediction is thought to be vital to organisms, but few studies have tested how well organisms and parts of organisms efficiently predict their sensory input in an information-theoretic sense.  In this talk, we report results on how well cultured neurons ("brain in […]
