Neuronal avalanches differ from wakefulness to deep sleep - evidence from intracranial depth recordings in humans [PDF]
, 2013 Neuronal activity differs between wakefulness and sleep states. In contrast, an attractor state, called self-organized critical (SOC), was proposed to govern brain dynamics because it allows for optimal information coding.

Fuzzy modelling of powder snow avalanches [PDF]
, 2004 This paper examines powder snow avalanches by introducing a predetermined degree of variation, or fuzziness, in model parameters. Given a value of vagueness in the parameters, fuzzy set theory makes it possible to evaluate the vagueness in the results ...

Neuronal avalanches recorded in the awake and sleeping monkey do not show a power law but can be reproduced by a self-organized critical model [PDF]
, 2009 Poster presentation: Self-organized critical (SOC) systems are complex dynamical systems that may express cascades of events, called avalanches [1].

Can model-based avalanche forecasts match the discriminatory skill of human danger-level forecasts? A comparison from Switzerland [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System SciencesIn recent years, physics-based snowpack models combined with machine-learning techniques have gained momentum in public avalanche forecasting. When integrated with spatial interpolation methods, these approaches enable fully model-driven predictions of ...

Empirical prediction for travel distance of channelized rock avalanches in the Wenchuan earthquake area [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2017 Rock avalanches are extremely rapid, massive flow-like movements of fragmented rock. The travel path of the rock avalanches may be confined by channels in some cases, which are referred to as channelized rock avalanches.

Size Distribution of Emitted Energies in Local Load Sharing Fiber Bundles
Frontiers in Physics, 2021 We study the local load sharing fiber bundle model and its energy burst statistics. While it is known that the avalanche size distribution of the model is exponential, we numerically show here that the avalanche size (s) and the corresponding average ...

Feedback Mechanisms for Self-Organization to the Edge of a Phase Transition
Frontiers in Physics, 2020 Scale-free outbursts of activity are commonly observed in physical, geological, and biological systems. The idea of self-organized criticality (SOC), introduced back in 1987 by Bak, Tang, and Wiesenfeld suggests that, under certain circumstances, natural

Subsampling effects in neuronal avalanche distributions recorded in vivo [PDF]
, 2009 Background Many systems in nature are characterized by complex behaviour where large cascades of events, or avalanches, unpredictably alternate with periods of little activity. Snow avalanches are an example.
