Mathematical Approach to Endo/Exo-Description of Living and Cognitive Systems
Tập 5 - Trang 37-43 - 2001
The holistic approach to description of living systems is based on the concept
that the living organism is itself part, participant, and contributor to its
world of observation. Two fundamentally different forms of description, endo-
and exo, corresponding to different epistemological attitudes, in relationship
to whether the observer is situated in or out of the system, reflect the
constraints of...
A Cusp Catastrophe Analysis of Changes to Adolescent Smoking Behaviour in Response to Smoking Prevention Programs
Tập 5 - Trang 115-137 - 2001
The efficacy of smoking prevention programs aimed at adolescent smoking
behaviour is widely debated in the health psychology literature. In general,
however, these are not seen to be particularly effective in eliminating this
acknowledged health risk behaviour. Even when positive results are presented,
they frequently assume a linear association between exposure to some prevention
or other and the...
Forcing Function Effects on Nonlinear Trajectories: Identifying Very Local Brain Dynamics
Tập 7 - Trang 139-159 - 2003
Effects of imposing a sinusoidal acoustic and visual forcing function at various
frequencies onto an EEG process are examined in terms of various indices of the
nonlinear dynamics. Conjoint use of four methods of data analysis; Lyapunov
exponents, the entropic analogue of the Schwarzian derivative, surrogate
distributions, and higher-order kernel analyses in the time domain, is
illustrated. Local ...
Order and Pattern Formation in Psychotherapy
Tập 2 - Trang 195-215 - 1998
In an empirical analysis of the dynamics of psychotherapy processes, concepts
and tools from self-organization theory are applied. Our focus is on pattern
formation in the ‘therapy system’, i.e. the system constituted by the
interaction dynamics of therapist and patient. The hypothesis of pattern
formation explored is based on data sets of 28 psychotherapy courses (10
behavioral, 3 client-centered...
Book Review A Review of Self-Organization of Complex Systems: From Individual to Collective Dynamics. Edited by Frank Schweitzer. 1997. Gordon & Breach. 596 p. + xxiv.

Temporal Dynamics of Brain Activity in Human Memory Processes
Tập 6 - Trang 323-334 - 2002
We propose a line of study by which Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (FMRI)
can be used together with nonlinear dynamics concepts as a medium for the study
of brain organization. The concentration is on (a) the complex behavior of
elementary neural circuits, and how they interact over brief spans of time to
produce cognition and memory; and (b) the change in circuit patterns associated
with a...
A Cusp Catastrophe Approach to the Prediction of Temporal Patterns in the Kill Dates of Individual Serial Murderers
Tập 3 - Trang 143-159 - 1999
A cusp catastrophe model was fitted to the time series of kill dates of eleven
serial murderers, using no additional external information. As predicted, this
model provided a superior fit (Median R2 =0.67) to the data than competing
linear models (Median R2 =0.43 and 0.22). Moreover, a single equation could be
identified which was moderately effective (R2 =0.53) in predicting the changes
in the in...
