Abstract
Gregson, Goertzel, and Tsuda each raise related
criticisms to our claim that electrocortical activity exhibits
microchaos while macroscopically behaving as a linear,
near-equilibrium system. The most powerful counterargument
advanced is the work of Kaneko (1990). This showed that
far-from-equilibrium global chaos emerges from coupled chaotic
maps. We respond that the effect of noise in the Kaneko model
brings its findings into line with our own.
Keywords
chaos, EEG simulation, electroencephalogram, linear
dynamics, neocortex, network symmetry, neurodynamics, pyramidal
cell, wave velocity.
