Summary on Grant Application Form
Our proposed Research Cluster will develop proposals in the areas of nature inspired computation (biological, chemical, and physical) and selforganised criticality (systems that maintain themselves in the computationally interesting dynamical state at the edge of chaos ). We will exploit and combine our expertise of in vivo (biological) and in silico (physical hardware) systems, to build both experimental and theoretical research models of how global behaviour emerges from vast numbers of interconnected simple agents (natural and artificial neurons, cells, social insects, ...), all operating with no need for centralised control.
