title: Self-organizing dynamics of the human brain: Critical instabilities and Sil'nikov chaos.
abstract: Using a sensorimotor coordination task in conjunction with an array of SQUIDs (Superconducting QUantum Interference Devices) we demonstrate critical instabilities in human brain activity patterns. Analysis of the dominant spatial pattern of the brain and its time-varying amplitude displays a task-dependent geometry characteristic of Sil'nikov-like chaos, which changes qualitatively at the transition.
