title: Human electroencephalogram induces transient coherence in excitable spatiotemporal chaos.
abstract: A time series from a human electroencephalogram (EEG) is used as a local perturbation to a reaction-diffusion model with spatiotemporal chaos. For certain finite ranges of amplitude and frequency it is observed that the strongly irregular perturbations can induce transient coherence in the chaotic system. This could be interpreted as "on-line" detection of an inherently correlated pattern embedded in the EEG.
