Thomas F. Varley studies how information is processed and shared within complex systems, especially the brain, using mathematical tools from information theory and network science. A central focus is 'higher-order' interactions, where groups of components (such as brain regions or cells) work together in ways that cannot be explained by looking at pairs alone. This work spans neural recordings, biological tissue, and even engineered materials, aiming to link abstract measures to concrete mechanisms.
Publication activity has grown steadily since around 2020, reaching roughly 12-16 papers per year in recent years.
