--- abstract: "We examine a simple biologically-motivated neural network, the three-layer version of the Chialvo-Bak `minibrain' [Neurosci. 90 (1999) 1137], and present numerical results which indicate that a non-equilibrium phase transition between ordered and disordered phases occurs subject to the tuning of a control parameter. Scale-free behaviour is observed at the critical point. Notably, the transition here is due solely to network geometry and not any noise factor. The phase of the network is thus a design parameter which can be tuned. The phases are determined by differing levels of interference between active paths in the network and the consequent accidental destruction of good paths." altloc: - http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/S0378-4371(03)00147-X - http://arxiv.org/abs/cond-mat/0204562 chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - JWakeling creators_name: - family: Wakeling given: Joseph honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2003-07 date_type: published datestamp: 2003-09-19 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/31/52 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 3152 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/3152/1/phase%2Dmb%2Dphysa_final.pdf|/style/images/fileicons/application_postscript.png;/3152/2/phase%2Dmb%2Dphysa_final.ps full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: ~ issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: Phase transitions; Neural networks; Neuroscience lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:55:20 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: Published in Physica A 325 (2003) 561-569. number: ~ pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: ~ refereed: TRUE referencetext: | [1] S.
