SOE 7: Focus Session: Self-Regulating and Learning Systems: from Neural to Social Networks

Wednesday, March 19, 2025, 09:30–12:45, H45

Living systems have a remarkable ability to self-stabilize. How do such systems, made up of small, active units, achieve meaningful goals without global control? This focus session will explore recent advances in self-regulating networks, demonstrating how these systems transition between states, adapt to perturbations and learn to navigate new environments.

Organized by Anastasia Golovin, Johannes Zierenberg, and Viola Priesemann
