Stochastic Pattern Formation in Space and Time: From the Brain to the Biosphere - Class 2

Explore advanced concepts in biological physics through this lecture from the School on Biological Physics across Scales: Pattern Formation series, where Professor Nigel Goldenfeld from the University of California San Diego delves into stochastic pattern formation across space and time. Examine complex phenomena ranging from neural processes to biosphere patterns in this second class session, building upon foundations established in the first lecture. Learn about the mathematical and physical principles governing pattern emergence in biological systems, with particular emphasis on stochastic processes and their role in shaping natural structures. Gain insights into how randomness and deterministic forces interact to create organized patterns across different biological scales, from cellular to ecological levels.
