Advanced methods of electrophysiological signal analysis and symbol grounding?; dynamical systems approaches to language.9781604560220 Advanced methods of electrophysiological signal analysis and symbol grounding The symbol grounding problem is related to the problem of how words get their meanings, and of what meanings are. The problem of meaning is in turn related to the problem of consciousness: how is it that it feels like something (to the symbol system) to mean something? ?; dynamical systems Dynamical Systems A system of equations where the output of one equation is part of the input for another. A simple version of a dynamical system is linear simultaneous equations. Non-linear simultaneous equations are nonlinear dynamical systems. approaches to language. Ed. by C. Allefeld et al. Nova Science Publishers 2008 328 pages $89.00 Hardcover P37 Sixty-two international academics and researchers contribute 18 chapters offering advanced methods of data analysis, reduction and interpretation for researching the physical and physiological processes of the brain that contribute to the meaning of words and utterances. The papers were originally presented as part of a four- day workshop held at the U. of Potsdam in March 2005. A sampling of topics: stability conditions in contextual emergence, contextual emergence of mental states from neurodynamics, mutual phase synchronization Phase synchronization is the process by which two or more cyclic signals tend to oscillate with a repeating sequence of relative phase angles. Phase synchronisation is usually applied to two waveforms of the same frequency with identical phase angles with each cycle. in single trial data, ordinal (mathematics) ordinal - An isomorphism class of well-ordered sets. analysis of EEG EEG: see electroencephalography. time series, quantification of order patterns recurrence plots of event related potentials, testing for coupling asymmetry using surrogate data, measuring the thalamocortical loop in patients, and assessment of connectivity patterns from multivariate time series by partial directed coherence.
