Abstract:Complex systems are fascinating because their rich macroscopic properties emerge from the interaction of many simple parts. Understanding the building principles of these emergent phenomena in nature requires assessing natural complex systems experimentally. However, despite the development of large-scale data-acquisition techniques, experimental observations are often limited to a tiny fraction of the system. This spatial subsampling is particularly severe in neuroscience, where only a tiny fraction of millio… Show more
