At Maxwell building (room Shannon A.105)
Speaker :
Sepulchre, Rodolphe
Abstract :
Regulation theory is grounded in the internal model principle, which states that exact regulation requires an exact internal model of the external signals to be regulated. How to reconcile this calibration principle with systems made of uncertain and variable components ? How do animals achieve regulation in changing and complex environments?
In this talk, Professor Sepulchre will propose that reliable regulation is possible in uncertain machines that regulate events rather than trajectories. He will highlight the role of excitability and synaptic coupling in a theory of event regulation
