Cortical preparatory activity: representation of movement or first cog in a dynamical machine?

MM Churchland, JP Cunningham, MT Kaufman, SI Ryu… - Neuron, 2010 - cell.com

Toward an interpretation of dynamic neural activity in terms of chaotic dynamical systems

I Tsuda - Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 2001 - cambridge.org
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 …

Testing the dynamic field theory: Working memory for locations becomes more spatially precise over development

AR Schutte, JP Spencer, G Schöner - Child development, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
The dynamic field theory predicts that biases toward remembered locations depend on the
separation between targets, and the spatial precision of interactions in working memory that …

Bridging the representational gap in the dynamic systems approach to development

JP Spencer, G Schöner - Developmental Science, 2003 - Wiley Online Library
We describe the relationship between the dynamic systems approach to development and a
recent approach to the dynamics of representational states–the dynamic field approach …

A dynamic neural field model of visual working memory and change detection

JS Johnson, JP Spencer, SJ Luck… - Psychological …, 2009 - journals.sagepub.com
