Abstract

This article serves as a supplement to the recently published call for participation in a Research Topic [1] that is timed to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Shannon's pioneering 1948 paper [2]. Here, we include some citations of key and relevant literature, which reflect our opinions/perspectives on the proposed topic, and serve as guidance to potential submissions.
