Information processing in brain and behavior displayed in large-scale scalp topographies such as EEG and MEG
INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BIFURCATION AND CHAOS 14(2):679–692.
We discuss a notion of information processing in brain and behavioral
dynamics, in particular the processing of meaningful information,
which is testable by means of an experimental coordination and transition
paradigm. Two hypotheses on the existence and persistence of mappings
between the dynamics of behavioral and brain signals are formulated.
A mathematical foundation for the first hypothesis is suggested
by means of Volterra integral expansions and by means of excitable
systems. Brain signals are captured as cortical currents, as well
as the resulting scalp topographies, such as electroencephalograms
(EEG) and magnetoencephalograms (MEG). Experimental evidence is
provided to support the hypothesis on the existence of such spatiotemporal
mappings between behavioral and brain signals.,
