The nature of distributed computation in complex systems has often been described in terms of memory, communication and processing. This thesis presents a complete information-theoretic framework to q
This book considers a relatively new metric in complex systems, transfer entropy, derived from a series of measurements of agent properties, usually a time series. After a qualitative introduction and
Analysis of information transfer has found rapid adoption in neuroscience, where a highly dynamic transfer of information continuously runs on top of the brain's slowly-changing anatomical connectivit
