"3152","Order-disorder transition in the Chialvo-Bak `minibrain' controlled by network geometry","We examine a simple biologically-motivated neural network, the three-layer version of the Chialvo-Bak `minibrain' [Neurosci. 90 (1999) 1137], and present numerical results which indicate that a non-equilibrium phase transition between ordered and disordered phases occurs subject to the tuning of a control parameter.  Scale-free behaviour is observed at the critical point.  Notably, the transition here is due solely to network geometry and not any noise factor.  The phase of the network is thus a design parameter which can be tuned.  The phases are determined by differing levels of interference between active paths in the network and the consequent accidental destruction of good paths.","http://cogprints.org/3152/","Wakeling, Joseph","UNSPECIFIED","       <span class=\"person_name\">Wakeling, Joseph</span>     (2003)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/3152/\"><em>Order-disorder transition in the Chialvo-Bak `minibrain' controlled by network geometry.</em></a>       [Preprint]           ","JWakeling","2003-07"
