How brains make chaos in order to make sense of the world
TL;DR: A model to describe the neural dynamics responsible for odor recognition and discrimination is developed and it is hypothesized that chaotic behavior serves as the essential ground state for the neural perceptual apparatus and a mechanism for acquiring new forms of patterned activity corresponding to new learned odors is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Physiology of Perception
TL;DR: The brain transforms sensory messages into conscious perceptions almost instantly Chaotic, collective activity involving millions of neurons seems essential for such rapid recognition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simulation of chaotic EEG patterns with a dynamic model of the olfactory system
TL;DR: The main parts of the central olfactory system are the bulb, anterior nucleus, and prepyriform cortex, which consist of a mass of excitatory or inhibitory neurons modelled in its noninteractive state by a 2nd order ordinary differential equation having a static nonlinearity.

How Brains Make Up Their Minds
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the power to choose is an essential and inalienable property of brains, and moreover the foundation for the development and flourishing of individuals and societies.
