The famous Lorenz Attractor - a chaotic attractor representing the long-term behavior of a system in visual form, whose body plan resembles a butterfly or a striped face mask, has become an emblem of chaos theory. The excessive and chaotic brain responses to chaotic visual stimuli and a particular brain visual systems sensitivity to a pattern of regularly spaced parallel stripes are well-known phenomena. This
CEREBRART work visualizes these ideas artistically.
Well done! The occipital or visual cortex is also shown here at the back of the brain as the striped cortex.
ReplyDeletethat attractor is quite elegant and not chaotic at all but it may be associated with brain chaos somehow

ReplyDeleteWhy do you insist that the brain is chaotic? I agree, mathematically, the equations governing the brain are nonlinear, the brain oscillates in a chaotic way, and may produce chaotic behavior. The brain appears to be disorderly, even random. On the other hand, despite that chaotic self-organization of the brain, on the "edge of chaos," the goal directed behavior of the brain creates human values which are non-random and non-chaotic.
ReplyDeleteWhy the brain is chaotic? Our chaotic brains, not our eyes, are largely responsible for our visual chaos!

ReplyDeleteSorry I'm new here. After reading this ceebrart blog it still doesn't make sense to me. I don't understand relations between your posts very well. E.g. visual chaos and hallucination. Is it same Item or not?
ReplyDeletealucinaciones visuales son muy reales para la persona que está teniendo el caos visual que no puede ser muy real.
