Figure 4.

Phase diagram of information import as in Figure 3b, but with one parameter changed in each of the four panels. (a) Width of the Gaussian distribution of weight magnitudes increased from w = 0.5 to w = 1. (b) Number of neurons reduced from N = 100 to N = 50. (c) Time delay between input signal and system state increased from 1 to 2. (d) Width of the Gaussian distribution of weight magnitudes decreased from w = 0.5 to w = 0.25. The results are similar to Figure 3b in all cases except for reduced weight fluctuations (d), where both edges of chaos become available for information import.
