Complexity measures
• Shannon information (entropy)
• Algorithmic complexity (length of the shortest code). Logical deep (time taken by the shortest code)
• Correlation dimension (topologic dimension of an attractor). Kolmogorov entropy.
• Neural Complexity (functional clustering)

Claims:

2. Complexity depends on how we measure and represent the data.
3. Complexity is low both for order and randomness.
But randomness is relative!(it depends on measurements, analysis
tools, computer power, etc.)

Why worms can be more complex than humans?
• Ideally:– Background activity random (functional) conectivity
– Complex behavior activation of a complex network
• In practice:– A very complex network may look random, whereas a simpler
one may show high complexity.
– This depends on: measurement (# of neurons, noise, etc.), analysis tools, definition of complexity, etc.

Claims: (open for discussion)
1. There is no unique measure of complexity.
2. Complexity depends on how we measure and represent the data.
