But "the [work] points to a general mechanism for generating complex behaviors" from simple ones, says Edvard Ingjald Moser, a neuroscientist at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim who was not involved with the work.
Babies who learn two languages simultaneously, and apparently effortlessly, have a single brain region for generating complex speech, researchers say.
Various methods have been presented for generating complex tensegrity structures by assembling simple units.
SCRaMbLE can be used as a novel method of mutagenesis, capable of generating complex genotypes and a variety of phenotypes.
Other rules have the opposite effect: seed them with a random jumble of cells and, after a few iterations, they begin generating complex order.
Prettejohn, B., Berryman, M. & McDonnell, M. Methods for generating complex networks with selected properties for simulations: a review and tutorial for neuroscientists.
Capabilities of computational fluid dynamics and other packages available for generating complex meshes can also be harnessed.
In addition, the largest fuel cell installation in the world is in Connecticut, a 1.2 megawatt generating complex -- enough energy to supply more than 1,000 typical homes -- at the Connecticut Juvenile Training Center in Middletown, constructed by United Technologies.
Neurons in the brain function primarily by generating complex patterns of electrical impulses called action potentials, which were, for a long time, extremely cumbersome to measure and even more difficult to manipulate.
Cell-free reconstitution studies demonstrate that polyketide synthases, which are usually involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, are responsible for generating complex lipids in mycobacteria.
This paper reports a newly developed pulse electrochemical micromachining (ECMM) process for generating complex 2½ and possibly 3-D microcomponents of high accuracy.
