An Algorithm for Qualitative Simulation of Gene Regulatory Networks with Steep Sigmoidal Response Functions
A specific class of ODEs has been shown to be adequate to describe the essential features of the complex dynamics of Gene-Regulatory Networks (GRN). But, the effective exploitatio...

Neural Algebra and Consciousness: A Theory of Structural Functionality in Neural Nets
Abstract. Thoughts are spatio-temporal patterns of coalitions of firing neurons and their interconnections. Neural algebras represent these patterns as formal algebraic objects, a...
