Many complex and interesting phenomena in nature are due to nonlinear phenomena. The
theory of nonlinear dynamical systems, also called 'chaos theory', has now progressed to a …

The sequence of neurophysiological processes elicited in the auditory system by a sound is
analyzed in search of the stage at which the processes carrying sensory information cross …

Behavioral and event-related brain potential (ERP) measures were used to elucidate the
neural mechanisms of involuntary engagement of attention by novelty and change in the …

This article reviews recent event-related brain potential (ERP) studies of involuntary
attention and distractibility in response to novelty and change in the acoustic environment …

The mismatch negativity (MMN) is an electromagnetic response to any discriminable change
in regular auditory input. This response is usually interpreted as being generated by an …

Considering the brain as a complex network of interacting dynamical systems offers new
insights into higher level brain processes such as memory, planning, and abstract reasoning …

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 …

The mismatch negativity (MMN) event-related potential is elicited by changes in repetitive
auditory stimuli. The present paper suggests that:(1) an acoustic model of the auditory …

Whole-head magnetoencephalographic (MEG) responses to repeating standard tones and
to infrequent slightly higher deviant tones and complex novel sounds were recorded …

There is some complementarity of models for the origin of the electroencephalogram (EEG)
and neural network models for information storage in brainlike systems. From the EEG …
