CALL FOR PAPERS!!!
For those who inquired about the type of papers to be published,
please check the web site.
We particularly welcome papers dealing with the following disciplines:
1. PDE's and nonlinear dynamical systems ( but not the evolutionary
type*);
2. Noninformationalist/noncomputationalist theories of mind;
3. Integrative neural modeling (e.g. n-field theory, biophysical
neural networks);
4. Functional imaging (PET/fMRI);
5. Experiments linking molecular with cellular phenomena.
Regards,
Managing Editor
PS. All manuscripts should be submitted to the Chief Editor.
* Although such nonlinear systems are explored in computational models
(see e.g., Ermentrout and Kleinfeld, 2001), an important problem is to
include spatial dependence, so those hypervolumes are representations of
spatio-temporal activity within the brain. The procedure requires
compatibility between bifurcations of high-dimensional problems with
those in low-dimensional spaces (Rn). Infinite-dimensional problems in
Banach space fit the description of functional connectivity to be
defined through spatio-temporal activity patterns interpreted within the
framework of dynamicist theory, yet projection of the problems into
low-dimensional space (like those with discrete space) do not guarantee
identical bifurcations. The Fredholm alternative for the solvability of
the equations arising in the construction of the bifurcating solution
may not hold under such projections, although the computation of
bifurcations does not require it to hold, and therefore computational
approaches investigating nonlinear dynamical systems with discrete
space, remain controversial in their faithfulness in reproducing
accurately the dynamical nature of functional connectivity.
