Talk Title: The Transition to Synchronization of Networked Dynamical Systems

Abstract: From brain dynamics and neuronal firing, to power grids or financial markets, synchronization of networked dynamical units is the collective behavior characterizing the normal functioning of most natural and manmade systems. As a control parameter (typically the coupling strength in each link of the network) increases, a transition occurs between a fully disordered and gaseous-like phase (where the units evolve in a totally incoherent manner) to an ordered or solid-like phase (in which, instead, all units follow the same trajectory in time). The transition between such two phases can be discontinuous and irreversible, or smooth, continuous, and reversible. The first case is known as Explosive Synchronization, and refers to an abrupt onset of synchronization following an infinitesimally small change in the control parameter. The second case is the most commonly observed one, and corresponds to a second-order phase transition, resulting in intermediate states emerging in between the two phases. Namely, the path to synchrony is here characterized by a sequence of events, where structured states emerge made of different functional modules (or clusters), each one evolving in unison. In my talk, I will assume that, during the transition, the synchronous solution of each cluster does not differ substantially from that characterizing the solid-like phase and, under such an approximation, I will introduce a (simple, effective, and limited in computational demand) method which is able to: i) predict the entire sequence of events that are taking place during the transition; ii) identify exactly which graph's node belongs to each of the emergent clusters, and iii) providea well approximated calculation of the critical coupling strength value at which each of such clusters is observed to synchronize. I will demonstrate that, under the assumed approximation, the sequence of events is in fact universal, in that it is independent of the specific dynamical system operating in each network's node and depends, instead, only on the graph's structure.

Talk Title: Numerical Continuation to Detect Turing pattern Outside the Turing Domain

Abstract: The Turing instability of coexisting homogeneous steady states in reaction-diffusion systems for interacting population models often leads to heterogeneous stationary patterns. However, the existence and detection of such heterogeneous solutions depend on the stability of non-constant steady states associated with the corresponding boundary value problem. The main objective of this talk is to discuss the numerical detection of stationary Turing patterns beyond the Turing instability domain and to identify the involved bifurcations through the numerical continuation technique. The illustration will be based on a spatiotemporal prey-predator model with saturated cooperative hunting among the predators. As a future direction of research, we will discuss the existence of stationary patterns after long transients due to the presence of the Belyakov-Devaney transition.

Talk Title: The Evolving Power Grid Towards a Greener Future

Abstract: As prompted by the increasing use of renewable sources and the quest for higher performance in the control of power conversion, the use of power electronics in generation and distribution systems has increased significantly in recent years,. Interactions of power electronics systems and conventional synchronous machines' dynamics would inevitably cause stability and robustness concerns, which can be understood from the conventional control viewpoint and the coupling effects among interacting dynamical systems of varying stability margins (or transient performances). In this talk, we discuss the various circuits and systems problems of power electronics penetration into power grids and the implications on the continuous evolution of the power grids.

Talk Title: A New Paradigm of Motor Control Integrating Neurodynamics Computation(融合神经动力学计算的运动控制的新范式)

Abstract: Current research on artificial intelligence paradigms for controlling robotic arms primarily focuses on the training and execution of specific tasks, lacking the rapid adaptability to dynamic environments, especially in cognition, decision-making, and motor control, where performance is not synchronized with that of humans. The main reason is the lack of clarity on the working principles of the neural system for motor control. Starting from the physiological motor control circuit of the human central nervous system, a motor control model based on brain neurons and nuclei is established to explore the mechanisms by which humans generate various movements through the nervous system, laying a foundational theoretical basis for the research of "Brain-Inspired Robots." This report, based on the biological nervous system, first introduces the structure and function of the motor control circuit including the brain nervous system, spinal cord nervous system, and musculoskeletal system. Then, focusing on the error-induced STDP mechanism in the cerebellum and the dopamine-induced synaptic plasticity mechanism in the cortex, it explores the role of cerebellar supervised learning and cortical reinforcement learning in arm movement control through dynamic modeling of motor circuits and the implementation of motor control, revealing the mechanism behind the high adaptability and flexibility of humans in unknown environments.

目前以人工智能范式控制机械臂的研究主要集中在特定任务的训练和执行上,缺乏对动态环境的快速适应能力,特别是在认知,决策,和运动控制方面无法取得和人类同步的表现,主要的原因是对运动控制的神经系统工作原理尚未清晰。从人类中枢神经系统的生理运动控制环路出发,建立以大脑神经元和核团为基础运动控制模型,探究人类通过神经系统产生多种运动的机制,为“脑启发机器人”的研究奠定原理性的基础理论。本次报告基于生物神经系统,首先介绍包括脑神经系统,脊髓神经系统和肌骨系统的运动控制环路结构和功能,然后针对小脑中误差诱导的STDP机制和皮层中多巴胺诱导的突触可塑性机制,从运动环路动力学建模和运动控制的实现探究小脑监督学习和皮层强化学习在手臂运动控制中的作用,揭示人类在未知环境下存在高适应性和灵活性的机理。

Talk Title: In-memory Computing Memristor Device and its AI Accelerators(存算一体忆阻器件及其AI加速器)

Abstract: As artificial intelligence algorithms demand more computational power and memory, the issues of power consumption and latency inherent in the traditional separation of processing and memory in chip architectures are becoming more apparent. In the post-Moore's Law era, it's crucial to explore new avenues for driving continuous growth in computational power, from the device level to architectures and algorithms. Memristors, recognized as the fourth fundamental passive electronic component alongside resistors, capacitors, and inductors, offer unique advantages in multi-bits storage and in-memory computing. These properties can greatly enhance the computational density and energy efficiency of AI chips, making them particularly promising for large model inference tasks. This report delves into the potential of memristors and neuromorphic chips, covering the development of in-memory computing memristors, in-sensor computing optoelectronic memristors, as well as memristor-based AI accelerators and their application in deep learning algorithms.

Talk Title: Across Neurons and Silicon: Some Ideas About the Relationship Between Unusual Electronic Circuits and Neuroscience

Abstract: What makes the brain unique, and what exactly is unique about it from a physical perspective, after all? I will try to approach these questions by first highlighting two aspects. One, the profound differences with respect to present-day computers. Two, how Nature has leveraged, to construct brains, some phenomena that are actually universal, pervasive in other systems, and thus possible to replicate electronically at some level. I will discuss how similar emergent behaviors can be observed across rather diverse systems, and how comparing brain activity to some rather unusual electronic circuits could be inspiring, both for neurophysiology and for electronic engineering. I will briefly overview my recent research attempting to “summarize” in simple electronic circuits, mainly so-called chaotic oscillators, some phenomena arising in other biological and physical scenarios, especially in brain dynamics. Firstly, a gallery of these rather unusual circuits will be walked through, surveying some oscillators based on transistors, gas-discharge tubes, and other electronic components. Secondly, simple networks of these circuits will be considered, demonstrating the spontaneous emergence of phenomena commonly observed in neural recordings, such as community structures, remote interdependences, and so on. Thirdly, some applications will be discussed, comprising the creation of physical instead of simulated in-silico disease models, bio-inspired pattern generation, and engineering applications such as in distributed sensing. While by no means a comprehensive introduction to this young multidisciplinary field, this presentation should hopefully provide some ideas regarding how engineering and neuroscience can provide mutually inspire each other.
