ON CHAOTIC EEG DYNAMICS
Commentary on Wright, Kydd & Liley on EEG-chaos

Abstract

Wright, Kydd & Liley's (1993) article attempting to harmonize locally chaotic EEG dynamics with globally linear dynamics does not address Mitra and Skinner's (1992) evidence for nonstationary temporal signals in limit set dimension. That phenomenon requires a more sophisticated model of global EEG dynamics for its explanation.
