Explore the fascinating world of information dynamics and its applications to understanding brain function in this 56-minute lecture by Dr. Joseph Lizier from The University of Sydney. Delve into intrinsic computation, information theory, and active information storage concepts. Discover how information transfer and dynamics play crucial roles in complex adaptive systems. Learn about space-time characterization of information and the relationship between network structure and function. Gain insights into theoretical results and effective network analysis techniques. Enhance your understanding of how information dynamics can provide valuable insights into the workings of the brain and other complex systems.
