Phil Plante - Action Potential

Action Potential, led by Phil Plante and associated with Donald Doherty's work, is a pioneering research initiative in Colorado Springs, CO, focused on decoding the complex interactions of neuronal ensembles. By utilizing advanced statistical methods and models, the team explores how large groups of neurons communicate and function, aiming to unravel the intricate workings of the mammalian brain.

The research highlights the emergence of collective behaviors among neurons, challenging traditional views of individual neuron independence. Through innovative approaches like maximum entropy models, Action Potential aims to bridge the gap between neuroscience and statistical physics, providing insights into how weak pairwise correlations can produce strongly synchronized states in neural networks.
