Giovanni Petri

Interesting piece — raises important questions about what higher-order formalisms actually buy us. Half-jokingly, it would make great panel material @netsciconf.bsky.social à la Leipzig dispute :)
(Also, first commentaries are already coming out: lnkd.in/d8_nunck)

Who knows? 🙈

Renormalization in the brain?
With @andreasantoro.bsky.social and @jesseba.bsky.social we're organizing a workshop at @cosynemeeting.bsky.social (Lisbon, March 16) on how coarse-graining principles from physics can explain neural computation across scales. nplresearch.github.io/neurorenorm2...

The perplexing “connected cluster axiom” – Inverse Complexity Lab Research group on inverse problems in complex systems and network science.

I wrote a blog post about the often stated but never explained assumption that communities in graphs should always be connected.

This is inconsistent with statistical significance and null models that underlie the most widely employed methods.

How do brain areas control each other? 🧠🎛️

✨In our NeurIPS 2025 Spotlight paper, we introduce a data-driven framework to answer this question using deep learning, nonlinear control, and differential geometry.🧵⬇️

View from the audience of Giovanni Petri delivering their Turing Seminar

Another fantastic Turing Seminar last week! 👨‍🏫

Giovanni Petri @lordgrilo.bsky.social from @northeasternu.bsky.social and @nunetsi.bsky.social delivered a very captivating talk, Tracing the Cultural Fabric of Sperm Whale Societies.

It finally happened. I found a place in London that gives you your espresso within 30secs of ordering it. 🤯🤯

Lots of higher-order interactions at the joint @beyondtheedge.network and RUNES workshop at AMU in Marseille this week. Thanks to @alainbarrat.bsky.social and @lordgrilo.bsky.social!

Exciting things in Topological Neuroscience! #NetSI_London @lordgrilo.bsky.social co-organized the “Topology of Human and Synthetic Minds” workshop at King’s College London, launching a new collaboration to advance this field.

Topological signal processing works! :P
Check out out latest one out!

Latest work at #EUSIPCO25!🚀
We bring Topological Signal Processing to the brain 🧠 — showing that edge-based approaches outperform classical GSP in task decoding.

Great collab with M.Nurisso & @lordgrilo.bsky.social 🙌

BeyondTheEdge at the School of Complexity on "Higher-order interactions: mechanisms, behaviors, and networks" by our own @lordgrilo.bsky.social and @gin-bianconi.bsky.social with @aliceschwarze.bsky.social, @danielemarinazzo.bsky.social. Great perspectives! www.beyondtheedge.network/articles/bey...

Matteo Neri addressing one of the differences/links
/implications between higher order effects and non gaussianity.

And lorenzo Zaffina showing that high temporal resolution scaffolds do distinguish between emotional profiles evoked by movies better than lower-order and other hoi signatures.

@martasolves.bsky.social discussing differences in global integration patterns in under different brain similarity measures 🧠

Packed room for @poetz.bsky.social

Interesting take on what’s intelligence (for). @jesseba.bsky.social showing differences between how biological vs artificial systems learn and linking behavioural performance to spectral properties of neural populations. Early results but very exciting !

And here we go.

Tagging @mrsbloomday.bsky.social here.

Rosemary Braun introducing organization in time of complex systems, with a really good slide. Love it.

And off she goes
