Entropy production in full phase space for continuous stochastic dynamics

RE Spinney, IJ Ford - Physical Review E, 2012 - APS
Total entropy production and its three constituent components are described both as
fluctuating trajectory-dependent quantities and as averaged contributions in the context of the …

Nonequilibrium thermodynamics of stochastic systems with odd and even variables

RE Spinney, IJ Ford - Physical review letters, 2012 - APS
The total entropy production of stochastic systems can be divided into three quantities. The
first corresponds to the excess heat, while the second two comprise the housekeeping heat. …

Transfer entropy in continuous time, with applications to jump and neural spiking processes

RE Spinney, M Prokopenko, JT Lizier - Physical Review E, 2017 - APS
Transfer entropy has been used to quantify the directed flow of information between source
and target variables in many complex systems. While transfer entropy was originally …

[HTML][HTML] Estimating transfer entropy in continuous time between neural spike trains or other event-based data

DP Shorten, RE Spinney, JT Lizier - PLoS computational biology, 2021 - journals.plos.org
Transfer entropy (TE) is a widely used measure of directed information flows in a number of
domains including neuroscience. Many real-world time series for which we are interested in …

The stability and number of nucleating interactions determine DNA hybridization rates in the absence of secondary structure

S Hertel, RE Spinney, SY Xu, TE Ouldridge… - Nucleic Acids …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
The kinetics of DNA hybridization are fundamental to biological processes and DNA-based
technologies. However, the precise physical mechanisms that determine why different DNA …

Irreversibility and emergent structure in active matter

E Crosato, M Prokopenko, RE Spinney - Physical Review E, 2019 - APS
Active matter is rapidly becoming a key paradigm of out-of-equilibrium soft matter exhibiting
complex collective phenomena, yet the thermodynamics of such systems remain poorly …

Fluctuation relations: A pedagogical overview

RE Spinney, IJ Ford - arXiv preprint arXiv:1201.6381, 2012 - arxiv.org
The fluctuation relations have received considerable attention since their emergence and
development in the 1990s. We present a summary of the main results and suggest ways to …

[HTML][HTML] Population mobility induced phase separation in SIS epidemic and social dynamics

N Harding, RE Spinney, M Prokopenko - Scientific reports, 2020 - nature.com
Understanding the impact of behavior dependent mobility in the spread of epidemics and
social disorders is an outstanding problem in computational epidemiology. We present a …

Thermodynamics and computation during collective motion near criticality

E Crosato, RE Spinney, R Nigmatullin, JT Lizier… - Physical Review E, 2018 - APS
We study self-organization of collective motion as a thermodynamic phenomenon in the
context of the first law of thermodynamics. It is expected that the coherent ordered motion …

Transfer entropy in physical systems and the arrow of time

RE Spinney, JT Lizier, M Prokopenko - Physical Review E, 2016 - APS
Recent developments have cemented the realization that many concepts and quantities in
thermodynamics and information theory are shared. In this paper, we consider a highly …
