Abstract:
We would like to thank all the experts for their insightful and very interesting comments that have been submitted
in response to our review “Chimera states in neuronal networks: A review” [1]. We are delighted with the large
number of comments that have been written, and even more so with the overwhelmingly positive opinions that these
comments communicate to the wider audience [2–8]. Although methods of statistical physics have long proven their
value in relevantly addressing challenges at the interface of chimeras and life sciences, such interdisciplinary research
often still struggles for funding and recognition at many academic levels.
