Collective modes in neural networks.
A theoretical model, based on response of a neural network to an external stimulus, was constructed to determine its collective modes. It is suggested that the waves observed in EEG records reflect the cooperative electrical activity of a large number of neurons. Further, an actual EEG time series was analyzed to deduce two dynamic parameters, dimension d of phase space of the neural system and the minimum number of variables nc necessary to describe the EEG pattern. We find d = 6.2 and nc = 11.
