Title: Controlling the unmanageable: insight into control methods for biological systems Abstract: When formulating a model for a biological system, often we want to use the model to understand the implications of management options and how to optimize the implementation. There are various methods for implementing management through control theory, ranging from basic, optimal control, […]

Title: How well do neurons, humans, and artificial neural networks predict?
