Mapping of spatiotemporal activity of networks into chaotic dynamics: thalamo-cortical networks.Agnessa Babloyantz and Alain DestexheIn: Artificial Neural Networks, Edited by Kohonen, T., Makisara, K., Simula, O. and Kangas, J. Amsterdam, Netherlands: North-Holland, 1991, pp. 139-144. Online version of the bookAbstractUsing a simple thalamo-cortical network of neurons it is shown that the spatiotemporal activity of the network may be mapped onto a deterministic chaotic dynamics if the spatially averaged network activity is considered as a time series. It is suggested that the electroencephalogram results from such an averaging over the spatiotemporal activity of millions of neurons. |
