This suggests that our current conceptualization of phenomena such as the 40-Hz resonance associated with orientating, arousal, visual task performance, and REM sleep, may be due to an incomplete characterization of the extensive coherence existent in this very wide range of time scales. This symposium will begin on Friday afternoon with a tutorial of introductory-level presentations designed to acquaint neuroscientists with the field of nonlinear dynamics, including discussions of chaos, stochastic resonance, fractal geometry, and dimensionality in neurobiology. Subsequent lectures will cover techniques used to characterize chaotic data sets and chaotic synchronization in experimental circuits and mathematical simulation. The symposium will continue on Saturday morning with a continental breakfast and poster session, followed by several presentations that will provide examples of the idea of multiscale coherent action in brain activity, with emphases on electrophysiology, animal, and human behavior. H.-O. Peitgen, R. Voss, E. Kostelich, L. Pecora, S. Schiff, S. Bressler, A. Krystal, W. Schaffer, M. Teich, A. Gottschalk.
