Adaptive Performance Network?: Is it the Answer to our Prayers?

Abstract

In the article ``A Simple Model of Brain´´ P. Bak & D. Stassinopolus have introduced a new class of adaptive networks, which tries to function in a volatile environment. The resulting dynamics, called adaptive performance networks, show fluctuation over a wide range of time scales. We introduce some guide lines for training and testing this new type of networks, which will be used to examine the power of these networks.
