Chaosmakers: rhythmicity breakers
Epileptic seizures correspond to episodes of increased rhythmicity of the normally chaotic neuronal activity. Using the Henon map as a validation model, the authors demonstrate the chaosmaker's ability to maintain chaotic activity through episodes of periodic activity. The chaosmaker employs a Radial Basis Function (RBF) model to learn chaotic dynamics from the time series. The strategy is to detect a change to a rhythmic mode, then employ nonlinear dynamics to return to a chaotic mode.
