Why does the human brain need to be a nonlinear system?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 19 (2):302-303 (1996)
Abstract
We focus on one aspect of Wright & Liley's target article: the linearity of the EEG. According to the authors, some nonlinear models of the cortex can be reduced (approximated) to the linear case at the millimetric scale. We argue here that the statement about the linear character of EEG is too strong and that EEG exhibits nonlinear features which cannot be ignored.Other Versions
