Better late than never: it's time to tell you about my main project at EPFL 🇨🇭! What happens in competitive metacommunities when you take into account spatial structure and habitat heterogeneity? Once more, a great collaboration with @lambdapp and the people at @liphlab!

We look into stochasticity arising from finite carrying capacity in classical metapopulation models to understand survival statistics.
Finite-size scaling of survival statistics in metapopulation models
Spatial metapopulation models are fundamental to theoretical ecology, enabling us to study how landscape structure influences global species dynamics. Traditional models, including recent generalizati...

🚀 New research alert! 🚀

Led by @gbarzon.bsky.social, @giorgionicoletti.bsky.social and Daniel Maria Busiello, our latest work in Physical Review Letters (journals.aps.org/prl/abstract...) reveals how excitation-inhibition balance tunes the timescale of information coding in neuronal populations! 🧠🔬

Balanced excitatory and inhibitory neuron activity is crucial for optimal brain information processing, highlighting the importance of neural network stability in encoding external signals effectively. doi.org/g87h5w
Optimal brain processing requires balance between excitatory and inhibitory neurons, study suggests
The brain's ability to process information is known to be supported by intricate connections between different neuron populations.

Flash post - my first last-author work with @gbarzon.bsky.social and @dmbusiello.bsky.social is out today in @apsphysics.bsky.social Physical Review Letters!

"Excitation-Inhibition Balance Controls Information Encoding in Neural Populations"

More about it soon!

Excitation-Inhibition Balance Controls Information Encoding in Neural Populations
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 t...

Our last paper of the year is finally out in @apsphysics.bsky.social Physical Review Research! We show that active environments lead to "information interference" between interacting particles - but what does that mean?

Information interference driven by environmental activity
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 dependenc...
