Critical slowing down as a biomarker for seizure susceptibility [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2020 Critical slowing (associated with increased variance and autocorrelation) can precede critical state transitions. Here, the authors show critical slowing can be used as a marker in seizure forecasting algorithms.

Critical slowing down governs the transition to neuron spiking. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2015 Many complex systems have been found to exhibit critical transitions, or so-called tipping points, which are sudden changes to a qualitatively different system state. These changes can profoundly impact the functioning of a system ranging from controlled

Critical slowing down associated with critical transition and risk of collapse in crypto-currency [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2020 The year 2017 saw the rise and fall of the crypto-currency market, followed by high variability in the price of all crypto-currencies. In this work, we study the abrupt transition in crypto-currency residuals, which is associated with the critical ...

Transitions in intensive care: Investigating critical slowing down post extubation. [PDF]
PLoS ONEComplex biological systems undergo sudden transitions in their state, which are often preceded by a critical slowing down of dynamics. This results in longer recovery times as systems approach transitions, quantified as an increase in measures such as ...

Detecting critical slowing down in high-dimensional epidemiological systems. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2020 Despite medical advances, the emergence and re-emergence of infectious diseases continue to pose a public health threat. Low-dimensional epidemiological models predict that epidemic transitions are preceded by the phenomenon of critical slowing down (CSD)

Anticipating the direction of symptom progression using critical slowing down: a proof-of-concept study [PDF]
BMC Psychiatry, 2022 Background As complex dynamic systems approach a transition, their dynamics change. This process, called critical slowing down (CSD), may precede transitions in psychopathology as well.

Uncertainties in critical slowing down indicators of observation-based fingerprints of the Atlantic Overturning Circulation [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2023 Observations are increasingly used to detect critical slowing down (CSD) to measure stability changes in key Earth system components. However, most datasets have non-stationary missing-data distributions, biases and uncertainties.

Fgf8 dynamics and critical slowing down may account for the temperature independence of somitogenesis [PDF]
Communications Biology, 2022 In Zebrafish, the dynamics of fgf8 and other gene transcripts as well as segmentation frequency, shortening of pre-somitic mesoderm and tail growth rate slows down with lower temperature. This may explain the temperature independence of somitogenesis.

No evidence of critical slowing down in two endangered Hawaiian honeycreepers. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 There is debate about the current population trends and predicted short-term fates of the endangered forest birds, Hawai`i Creeper (Loxops mana) and Hawai`i `Ākepa (L. coccineus). Using long-term population size estimates, some studies report forest bird
