Abstract:

This paper shows how concepts and tools borrowed from statistical physics might be useful for modelling biological systems. This is illustrated by specific examples taken from the study of neural dynamics. The relevance for neuroscience of the notion of 'collective phenomena', for which statistical physics gives appropriate modelling tools, is discussed.
