The first measurements of the electrical activity of the brain, performed more than 60 years
ago with recordings from the scalp, revealed prominent oscillatory activity (19), and until …

The search for chaotic patterns has occupied numerous investigators in neuroscience, as in
many other fields of science. Their results and main conclusions are reviewed in the light of …

We propose a neural network model with transient chaos, or a transiently chaotic neural
network (TCNN) as an approximation method for combinatorial optimization problems, by …

Recent experimental work has shown that activity in living neural networks can propagate as
a critical branching process that revisits many metastable states. Neural network theory …

Human agents draw a variety of inferences effortlessly, spontaneously, and with remarkable
efficiency–as though these inferences were a reflexive response of their cognitive …

Using the concepts of chaotic dynamical systems, we present an interpretation of dynamic
neural activity found in cortical and subcortical areas. The discovery of chaotic itinerancy in …

Chaos in science has always been a fascinating realm since it challenges the usual
scientific approach of reductionism. While carefully distinguishing between complexity …

Those classical models are reviewed that are most widely used by neurobiologists to
explain the dynamics of neurons and neuron populations, and by modelers to implement …

An associative network is constructed with chaotic neuron models interconnected through a
conventional auto-associative matrix of synaptic weights. The associative dynamics of the …

What is life? What type of system is life? How can we understand life? Or what does
“understanding life” really mean? Sixty years since the publication of What Is Life? by …
