Signals travel at finite speeds within the nerves of living organisms, between satellites and the Earth, or in computers and other technological devices. As a result, they incur delays in moving from one point to another, which engineers, roboticists, control-theorists and neuroscientists typically consider as a source of error. Read more
Brownian motion has long been the standard paradigm for modelling random, diffusive motion, such as the haphazard movement of a dust particle floating in a fluid. This is considered to be “normal” diffusion, in which the mean square particle displacement – calculated as an average over an ensemble of particles – increases linearly in the long-time limit.

LML Fellow Mark Kirstein has received a PRIME fellowship from DAAD (the German Academic Exchange Service). This will support a 12-month research visit to the London Mathematical Laboratory, followed by a postdoctoral position at Leipzig University for 6 months. Mark will use his time at LML to study The time resolution of the probability weighting puzzle as a member of the Ergodicity Economics (EE) research group. Read more
Economists and policy makers worry that the rapid advance of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technologies could seriously disrupt labour markets. Read more
Electroencephalography (EEG) provides a direct measure of neuronal activity as reflected in the scalp electrical field. Empirically, global measures of EEG topography remain stable in so-called EEG microstates for brief periods (50–100 ms) before switching to another quasi-stable state. Read more
