  2. Outline • Introduction • Synchronization in complex networks via hierarchical (clustered) transitions • Application: structure vs. functionality in complex brain networks – network of networks • Retrieval of direct vs. indirect connections in networks (inverse problem) • Conclusions

  3. Types of Synchronization in Complex Processes - phase synchronization (1996) phase difference bounded, a zero Lyapunov exponent becomes negative (phase-coherent) - generalized synchronization (1995) a positive Lyapunov exponent becomes negative, amplitudes and phases interrelated - complete synchronization (1984)

  4. Identification of Synchronization from Data • Complete Synchronization: simple task • Phase and Generalized Synchronization: highly non-trivial • correlation and spectral analysis are often notsufficient (may even lead to artefacts); • special techniques are necessary!

  5. Applications in various fields • Lab experiments: • Electronic circuits (Parlitz, Lakshmanan, Dana...) • Plasma tubes (Rosa) • Driven or coupled lasers (Roy, Arecchi...) • Electrochemistry (Hudson, Gaspar, Parmananda...) • Controlling (Pisarchik, Belykh) • Convection (Maza...) • Natural systems: • Cardio-respiratory system (Nature, 1998...) • Parkinson (PRL, 1998...) • Epilepsy (Lehnertz...) • Kidney (Mosekilde...) • Population dynamics (Blasius, Stone) • Cognition (PRE, 2005) • Climate (GRL, 2005) • Tennis (Palut)

  6. Ensembles: Social Systems • Rituals during pregnancy: man and woman isolated from community; both have to follow the same tabus (e.g. Lovedu, South Africa) • Communities of consciousness and crises • football (mexican wave: la ola, ...) • Rhythmic applause

  7. Networks with Complex Topology Networks with complex topology • Random graphs/networks (Erdös, Renyi, 1959) • Small-world networks (Watts, Strogatz, 1998) • Scale-free networks (Barabasi, Albert, 1999) • Applications: neuroscience, cell biology, epidemic spreading, internet, traffic, systems biology • Many participants (nodes) with complexinteractions and complex dynamicsat the nodes

  8. Complex networks – a fashionable topic or a useful one?

  9. Hype: studies on complex networks • Scale-free networks – thousands of examples (log-log plot with „some plateau“  SF, similar to dimension estimates in the 80ies…) • Application to huge networks (number of different sexual partners in one country SF) – What to learn from this? • Many promising approaches leading to useful applications, e.g. immunization problems, functioning of biological/physiological processes as protein networks, brain dynamics (Hugues Berry), colonies of thermites (Christian Jost) etc.

  10. Neural Networks Biological Networks Ecological Webs Protein interaction Genetic Networks Metabolic Networks

  11. Technological Networks World-Wide Web Internet Power Grid

  12. Transportation Networks Airport Networks Local Transportation Road Maps

  13. Scale-freee Networks Network resiliance • Highly robust against random failure of a node • Highly vulnerable to deliberate attacks on hubs Applications • Immunization in networks of computers, humans, ...

  14. Synchronization in such networks • Synchronization properties strongly influenced by the network´s structure (Jost/Joy, Barahona/Pecora, Nishikawa/Lai, Timme et al., Hasler/Belykh(s), Boccaletti et al., etc.) • Self-organized synchronized clusters can be formed (Jalan/Amritkar) • Previous works mainly focused on the influence of the connection´s topology (assuming coupling strength uniform)

  15. Universality in the synchronization of weighted random networks Our intention: Include the influence of weighted coupling for complete synchronization (Motter, Zhou, Kurths, Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 034101, 2006)

  16. Weighted Network of N Identical Oscillators F – dynamics of each oscillator H – output function G – coupling matrix combining adjacency A and weight W - intensity of node i (includes topology and weights)

  17. Main results Synchronizability universally determinedby: - mean degree K and - heterogeneity of the intensities or - minimum/ maximum intensities

  18. Hierarchical Organization of Synchronization in Complex Networks Homogeneous (constant number of connections in each node) vs. Scale-free networks Zhou, Kurths: CHAOS 16, 015104 (2006)

  19. Identical oscillators

  20. Transition to synchronization

  21. Clusters of synchronization

  22. Transition to synchronization in complex networks • Hierarchical transition to synchronization via clustering • Hubs are the „engines“ in cluster formation AND they become synchronized first among themselves

  23. Cat Cerebal Cortex

  24. Connectivity Scannell et al., Cereb. Cort., 1999

  25. Modelling • Intention: Macroscopic  Mesoscopic Modelling

  26. Network of Networks

  27. Hierarchical organization in complex brain networks • Connection matrix of the cortical network of the cat brain (anatomical) • Small world sub-network to model each node in the network (200 nodes each, FitzHugh Nagumo neuron models - excitable) •  Network of networks • Phys Rev Lett 97 (2006), Physica D 224 (2006)

  28. Density of connections between the four com-munities Anatomic clusters • Connections among the nodes: 2-3 … 35 • 830 connections • Mean degree: 15

  29. Model for neuron i in area I Fitz Hugh Nagumo model – excitable system

  30. Transition to synchronized firing g – coupling strength – control parameter

  31. Network topology vs. Functional organization in networks Weak-coupling dynamics  non-trivial organization  relationship to underlying network topology

  32. Functional vs. Structural Coupling Dynamic Clusters

  33. Intermediate Coupling Intermediate Coupling: 3 main dynamical clusters

  34. Strong Coupling

  35. Correct words (Priester) Pseudowords (Priesper) Inferring networks from EEG during cognition Analysis and modeling of Complex Brain Networks underlyingCognitive (sub) ProcessesRelated to Reading, basing on single trial evoked-activity t2 t1 time Conventional ERP Analysis Dynamical Network Approach

  36. Initial brain states influence evoked activity + corr, significant trial3 non significant - corr, significant trial13 On-going fluctuations = single trial EEG minus average ERP trial15

  37. Identification of connections – How to avoid spurious ones? Problem of multivariate statistics: distinguish direct and indirect interactions

  38. Linear Processes • Case: multivariate system of linear stochastic processes • Concept of Graphical Models (R.Dahlhaus, Metrika 51, 157 (2000)) • Application of partial spectral coherence

  39. Extension to Phase Synchronization Analysis • Bivariate phase synchronization index (n:m synchronization) • Measures sharpness of peak in histogram of Schelter, Dahlhaus, Timmer, Kurths: Phys. Rev. Lett. 2006

  40. Partial Phase Synchronization Synchronization Matrix with elements Partial Phase Synchronization Index

  41. Example

  42. Example • Three Rössler oscillators (chaotic regime) with additive noise; non-identical • Only bidirectional coupling 1 – 2; 1 - 3

  43. Summary Take home messages: • There are rich synchronization phenomena in complex networks (self-organized structure formation) – hierarchical transitions • This approach seems to be promising for understanding some aspects of cognition • The identification of direct connections among nodes is non-trivial
