Biological rhythms: Do they cointegrate?

Many biological systems can be seen as networks of interconnected oscillating units.

Unraveling how they interact, coordinate and influence each other in a random environment is essential for understanding systems such as the dynamic brain. The problem is that the current statistical methods are insufficient for solid data analysis.

To solve this problem, I will elaborate the methodology of cointegration analysis, which has been applied mainly in econometrics, to provide a principled statistical framework for analyzing experimental data from neuronal systems.

I will work on this project under the supervision of Professor Susanne Ditlevsen at the University of Copenhagen (UCPH).
