Well done. You've clicked the tower. This would actually achieve something if you had logged in first. Use the key for that. The name takes you home. This is where all the applicables sit. And you can't apply any changes to my site unless you are logged in.

Our policy is best summarized as "we don't care about _you_, we care about _them_", no emails, so no forgetting your password. You have no rights. It's like you don't even exist. If you publish material, I reserve the right to remove it, or use it myself.

Don't impersonate. Don't name someone involuntarily. You can lose everything if you cross the line, and no, I won't cancel your automatic payments first, so you'll have to do it the hard way. See how serious this sounds? That's how serious you're meant to take these.

Explicit mutual information for simple networks and neurons with lognormal activities

arXiv:2307.00017v2 Announce Type: replace
Abstract: Networks with stochastic variables described by heavy tailed lognormal distribution are ubiquitous in nature, and hence they deserve an exact information-theoretic characterization. We derive analytical formulas for mutual information between elements of different networks with correlated lognormally distributed activities. In a special case, we find an explicit expression for mutual information between neurons when neural activities and synaptic weights are lognormally distributed, as suggested by experimental data. Comparison of this expression with the case when these two variables have short tails, reveals that mutual information with heavy tails for neurons and synapses is generally larger and can diverge for some finite variances in presynaptic firing rates and synaptic weights. This result suggests that evolution might prefer brains with heterogeneous dynamics to optimize information processing.
