Thu 11 Dec 2025   13:00 - 14:00	Seminar: Thomas Schreiber (Stuttgart): A Transfer Entropy Story Centre for Complex Systems This talk will be centered around the concept of transfer entropy, as introduced some 25 years ago. An insider's recollection will be presented that outlines the irritation that eventually led to its definition. An outsider's view will then be given...

Thu 19 Feb 2026   13:00 - 14:00	Seminar: Luke Davis (U Edinburgh): Stochastic geometry of active matter Centre for Complex Systems For equilibrium hard spheres the stochastic geometry of the insertion space, the room to accommodate another sphere, relates exactly to the equation of state. We begin to extend this idea to active matter, analyzing insertion space for repulsive...

Thu 19 Mar 2026   13:00 - 14:00	Seminar: Karl J. Friston (UCL): The physics of sentience Centre for Complex Systems How can we understand ourselves as sentient creatures? And what are the principles that underwrite sentient behaviour? This presentation uses the free energy principle to furnish an account in terms of active inference. First, we will try to...
