Dante R. Chialvo (born 1956) is a professor at Universidad Nacional de San Martin. Together with Per Bak, they put forward concrete models considering the brain as a critical system. Initial contributions focussed on mathematical ideas of how learning could benefit from criticality.[1][2][3] Further work provided experimental evidence for this conjecture both at large and small scale.[4][5][6][7] He was named Fulbright Scholar in 2005[8] and elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2007 [9][10] and as Member of the Academia de Ciencias de America Latina in 2022.[11]
