Chaos and physiology: deterministic chaos in excitable cell assemblies.
In this review we examined the emerging science of deterministic chaos (nonlinear systems theory) and its application to selected physiological systems. Although many of the popular images of fractals represent fascination and beauty that by analogy corresponds to nature as we see it, the question remains as to its ultimate meaning for physiological processes. It was our intent to help clarify ...
متن کاملChaos and Noise in Excitable Systems
In principle, the state space of a chaotic attractor can be partially or wholly reconstructed from interspike intervals recorded from experiment. Under certain conditions, the quality of a partial reconstruction, as measured by the spike train prediction error, can be increased by adding noise to the spike creation process. This phenomenon for chaotic systems is an analogue of stochastic resona...
متن کاملDeterministic Chaos Lab
The final report for the Deterministic Chaos Lab (DC Lab) should include appropriate presentations and explanations of data in addition to some qualitative discussion on interesting or significant aspects of the experiment. A brief discussion describing the general nature referenced in scientific literature will be to your benefit. There are some books (and even free ebooks) on the subject avai...
متن کاملEncryption using Deterministic Chaos
The concepts of randomness, unpredictability, complexity and entropy form the basis of modern cryptography and a cryptosystem can be interpreted as the design of a key-dependent bijective transformation that is unpredictable to an observer for a given computational resource. For any cryptosystem, including a Pseudo-Random Number Generator (PRNG), encryption algorithm or a key exchange scheme, f...
متن کاملDeterministic Chaos in Tropical Atmospheric Dynamics *
We examine an 11-year data set from the tropical weather station of Tlaxcala, Mexico. We find that mutual information drops quickly with the delay, to a positive value which relaxes to zero with a time scale of 20 days. We also examine the mutual dependence of the observables and conclude that the data set gives the equivalent of 8 variables per day, known to a precision of 2%. We determine the...
