Chaotic itinerancy and its roles in cognitive neurodynamics.
نویسنده
چکیده
Chaotic itinerancy is an autonomously excited trajectory through high-dimensional state space of cortical neural activity that causes the appearance of a temporal sequence of quasi-attractors. A quasi-attractor is a local region of weakly convergent flows that represent ordered activity, yet connected to divergent flows representing disordered, chaotic activity between the regions. In a cognitive neurodynamic aspect, quasi-attractors represent perceptions, thoughts and memories, chaotic trajectories between them with intelligent searches, such as history-dependent trial-and-error via exploration, and itinerancy with history-dependent sequences in thinking, speaking and writing.

Chaotic Itinerancy: A Multi-Disciplinary Perspective
Chaotic itinerancy is characterized here as a general mechanism of high-dimensional systems. The paper focuses on the interplay between the low-dimensional behavior in the vicinity of attractors and the transients of the embedding larger system. Using this interplay we chart the relationship of chaotic itinerancy to some other dynamical concepts and applied notions. From the dynamic computation...
متن کاملChaotic itinerancy in coupled dynamical recognizers.
We argue that chaotic itinerancy in interaction between humans originates in the fluctuation of predictions provided by the nonconvergent nature of learning dynamics. A simple simulation model called the coupled dynamical recognizer is proposed to study this phenomenon. Daily cognitive phenomena provide many examples of chaotic itinerancy, such as turn taking in conversation. It is therefore an...
متن کاملChaotic Itinerancy is a Key to Mental Diversity
Kampis proposed the study of chaotic itinerancy, pointing out its significance in domains of cognitive science and philosophy. He discovered in the concept of chaotic itinerancy the possibility for a new dynamical approach that elucidates mental states with a physical basis. This approach may therefore provide the means to go beyond the connectionist approach. In accordance with his theory, we ...
متن کاملFOCUS ISSUE: Chaotic Itinerancy Chaotic itinerancy
About a decade ago, chaotic itinerancy was proposed as a universal dynamical concept in high-dimensional dynamical systems. This was based on numerical studies in coupled maps, optical turbulence, and neural dynamics. One of the great surprises in ‘‘deterministic chaos’’ was the emergence of essential random behavior even in lowdimensional dynamical systems. In the study of highdimensional chao...
متن کاملChaotic bursting as chaotic itinerancy in coupled neural oscillators.
We show that chaotic bursting activity observed in coupled neural oscillators is a kind of chaotic itinerancy. In neuronal systems with phase deformation along the trajectory, diffusive coupling induces a dephasing effect. Because of this effect, an antiphase synchronized solution is stable for weak coupling, while an in-phase solution is stable for very strong coupling. For intermediate coupli...
