Using the concepts of chaotic dynamical systems, we present an interpretation of dynamic
neural activity found in cortical and subcortical areas. The discovery of chaotic itinerancy in …

Psychophysical evidence in humans indicates that localization is different for stationary
flashed and coherently moving objects. To address how the primary visual cortex represents …

For assessing tactile spatial resolution it has recently been recommended to use tactile
acuity charts which follow the design principles of the Snellen letter charts for visual acuity …

Visual input constantly recalibrates auditory spatial representations. Exposure to
isochronous audiovisual stimuli with a fixed spatial disparity typically results in a subsequent …

Repetitive sensory stimulation of the fingertip induces Hebbian plasticity in the sensorimotor
cortex that benefits the tactile and motor behavior of the hand in healthy younger adults …

The neocortex contains orderly topographic maps; however, their functional role remains
controversial. Theoretical studies have suggested a role in minimizing computational costs …

Tsuda examines the potential contribution of nonlinear dynamical systems, with many
degrees of freedom, to understanding brain function. We offer suggestions concerning …

We consider the significance of high-dimensional transitory dynamics in the brain and mind.
In particular, we highlight the roles of high-dimensional chaotic dynamical systems as an …

This chapter summarizes recent findings about plastic changes in adult early sensory and
motor cortices. We discuss mechanisms leading to enduring changes of synaptic efficacy …

What is the role of the representation and processing of the sensory environment in primary
cortical fields? How do the principles underlying sensory processing differ among cortical …
