This volume constitutes the documentation of the advanced course on Analysis of Dynamical and Cognitive Systems, held during the Summer University of Southern Stockholm in Stockholm, Sweden in August 1993. The volume contains eight carefully revised full versions of the invited three-to-four hour presentations as well as two abstracts. As a consequence of the interdisciplinary topic, several aspects of dynamical and cognitive systems are addressed: there are three papers on computability and undecidability, five tutorials on diverse aspects of universal cellular neural networks, and two presentations on dynamical systems and complexity.
Dynamical Cognitive Science
An introduction to the application of dynamical systems science to the cognitive sciences. Dynamical Cognitive Science makes available to the cognitive science community the analytical tools and techniques of dynamical systems science, adding the variables of change and time to the study of human cognition. The unifying theme is that human behavior is an "unfolding in time" whose study should be augmented by the application of time-sensitive tools from disciplines such as physics, mathematics, and economics, where change over time is of central importance. The book provides a fast-paced, comprehensive introduction to the application of dynamical systems science to the cognitive sciences. Topics include linear and nonlinear time series analysis, chaos theory, complexity theory, relaxation oscillators, and metatheoretical issues of modeling and theory building. Tools and techniques are discussed in the context of their application to basic cognitive science problems, including perception, memory, psychophysics, judgment and decision making, and consciousness. The final chapter summarizes the contemporary study of consciousness and suggests how dynamical approaches to cognitive science can help to advance our understanding of this central concept.
