The rainbow and the brain have in common that frequencies are produced. In both cases there is a function of frequency, f, called the power spectral density (PSD). In both cases invasive investigation spoils the investigated object. This talk will...

This is about an SIR + virus model with ducks and virus, no humans. I start with a stochastic model from a recent paper where sustained oscillations are found through a nice bump in the power spectral density function. In fact considerable additional...

Scintillating Scotoma is a phenomenon in the visual cortex which may signal the onset of migraine, or may happen for no apparent reason. Initial steps to model this use a stochastic reaction diffusion system. A stochastic version of Turing patterns...

A deterministic model may sometimes seem to be a good description of the dynamics of an observed system but may have a long-term stable constant limit, whereas observations of the system itself show a noisy pattern. An example is semi-arid vegetation...

A diffusion-type operator biologically significant in neuroscience is a difference of Gaussian functions used as a spatial-convolution kernel (Mexican-Hat operator). We are interested in the dynamics inherent in a neural structure such as visual...
