Tuning Transduction from Hidden Observables to Optimize Information Harvesting

Biological and living organisms sense and process information from their surroundings, typically having access only to a subset of external observables for a limited amount of time. In this Letter, we uncover how biological systems can exploit these access ...

Landscape and environmental heterogeneity support coexistence in competitive metacommunities

Andrea Rinaldo, Giorgio Nicoletti

Metapopulation models have been instrumental in quantifying the ecological impact of landscape structure on the survival of a focal species. However, extensions to multiple species with arbitrary dispersal networks often rely on phenomenological assumption ...

Information Propagation in Multilayer Systems with Higher-Order Interactions across Timescales

Daniel Maria Busiello, Giorgio Nicoletti

Complex systems are characterized by multiple spatial and temporal scales. A natural framework to capture their multiscale nature is that of multilayer networks, where different layers represent distinct physical processes that often regulate each other in ...

Information propagation in Gaussian processes on multilayer networks

Giorgio Nicoletti

Complex systems with multiple processes evolving on different temporal scales are naturally described by multilayer networks, where each layer represents a different timescale. In this work, we show how the multilayer structure shapes the generation and pr ...

Information interference driven by environmental activity

Giorgio Nicoletti

Real-world systems are shaped by both their complex internal interactions and the changes in their noisy environments. In this work, we study how a shared active bath affects the statistical dependencies between two interacting Brownian particles by evalua ...

Information-driven transitions in projections of underdamped dynamics

Amos Maritan, Daniel Maria Busiello, Giorgio Nicoletti

Low-dimensional representations of underdamped systems often provide useful insights and analytical tractability. Here, we build such representations via information projections, obtaining an optimal model that captures the most information on observed spa ...

Mutual information in changing environments: Nonlinear interactions, out-of-equilibrium systems, and continuously varying diffusivities

Daniel Maria Busiello, Giorgio Nicoletti

Biochemistry, ecology, and neuroscience are examples of prominent fields aiming at describing interacting systems that exhibit nontrivial couplings to complex, ever-changing environments. We have recently shown that linear interactions and a switching envi ...

Excitation-Inhibition Balance Controls Information Encoding in Neural Populations

Giorgio Nicoletti

Understanding how the complex connectivity structure of the brain shapes its information-processing capabilities is a long-standing question. By focusing on a paradigmatic architecture, we study how the neural activity of excitatory and inhibitory populati ...

Mutual Information Disentangles Interactions from Changing Environments

Daniel Maria Busiello, Giorgio Nicoletti

Real-world systems are characterized by complex interactions of their internal degrees of freedom, while living in ever-changing environments whose net effect is to act as additional couplings. Here, we introduce a paradigmatic interacting model in a switc ...
