The metastable brain

E Tognoli, JAS Kelso - Neuron, 2014 - cell.com
Neural ensembles oscillate across a broad range of frequencies and are transiently coupled
or" bound" together when people attend to a stimulus, perceive, think, and act. This is a …

Multifractal test for nonlinearity of interactions across scales in time series

DG Kelty-Stephen, E Lane, L Bloomfield… - Behavior Research …, 2023 - Springer
The creativity and emergence of biological and psychological behavior tend to be nonlinear,

Turing's cascade instability supports the coordination of the mind, brain, and behavior

DG Kelty-Stephen, M Mangalam - Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews, 2022 - Elsevier
Turing inspired a computer metaphor of the mind and brain that has been handy and has
spawned decades of empirical investigation, but he did much more and offered behavioral …

A potential mechanism for Gibsonian resonance: Behavioral entrainment emerges from local homeostasis in an unsupervised reservoir network

JB Falandays, J Yoshimi, WH Warren… - Cognitive …, 2024 - Springer
While the cognitivist school of thought holds that the mind is analogous to a computer,

Is prediction nothing more than multi-scale pattern completion of the future?

JB Falandays, B Nguyen, MJ Spivey - Brain Research, 2021 - Elsevier
While the notion of the brain as a prediction machine has been extremely influential and
productive in cognitive science, there are competing accounts of how best to model and …

Global broadcasting of local fractal fluctuations in a bodywide distributed system supports perception via effortful touch

M Mangalam, NS Carver, DG Kelty-Stephen - Chaos, Solitons & Fractals, 2020 - Elsevier
