[Biomedical-cybernetics] Full Day of Workshops on Nonlinear Concepts and Methods

[Guastello, Stephen]

WHERE: The 24th Annual Conference of the Society for Chaos Theory in  
Psychology & Life Sciences, Marquette University, Milwaukee, WI  USA.
WHEN: July 31, 2014

Nonlinear Dynamical Systems (NDS) Theory has changed our thinking  
about randomness, determinism, and the nature of change itself. Its  
unique concepts for time series have been greatly instrumental in  
reformulating intractable problems in many areas of psychology,  
biomedical science, and economics. The pre-conference workshop for  
this year is designed for researchers at any career stage who are  
ready to break into this fascinating area and expand their research  
agendas in the life and social sciences. The program is also ideal for  
graduate students who want to do new research with impact on their  
respective topic areas! (Hint: disseration). Of further interest,  
earlier version of this program was also very popular with professors  
who were exploring the best means for importing nonlinear dynamics to  
their substantive theory or methods courses. Participants may register  
for either or both the AM and PM sessions.

Topics and Presenters
AM SESSION
Segment 1: Attractors, bifurcations chaos, fractals, self- 
organization, catastrophes, presented by Stephen J. Guastello.
Segment 2: Chaos, fractals and power laws, presented by J. C. Sprott.
PM SESSION
Segment 3: Entropy, state space grids, and pattern extraction with  
symbolic dynamics, presented by David Pincus.
Segment 4: Formulating hypotheses with nonlinear dynamics, presented  
by Keith Owen and A. Steven Dietz.
RECEPTION AND DISCUSSION
The day will conclude with a reception and open discussion on theory  
building concerns, methods questions, and research strategies. All  
conferees are invited to join us for this final session of the day.
