From intermittency to transitivity in neuropsychobiological flows.
Nonlinear dynamics offers a language for describing many aspects of brain function. Intermittency, alternating periods of periodic and chaotic behavior, and transitivity, the indecomposability of a flow, are discussed here in detail. Applications are suggested to neuropsychobiological phenomena, such as the effects of drugs and other agents.
