“…Time series that show LRD have been observed in a wide variety of systems encompassing many different fields, such as physics, biology, technology, hydrology, geophysics, economics, and sociology. Specific examples that illustrate the ubiquity of LRD include the flow of the River Nile, stock market fluctuations, sunspot activity, neuronal spike trains, network traffic, pressure variations in music and speech, and magnetoencephalographic time series (see, e.g., Baillie, 1996;Beran, 1992Beran, , 1994Davidsen & Schuster, 2000;Hausdorff & Peng, 1996;Kaulakys & Meskauskas, 1998;Novikov, Novikov, Shannahoff-Khalsa, Schwartz, & Wright, 1997;Pilgram & Kaplan, 1998;Schroeder, 1991;Voss, 1988;and references therein). 1 LRD has also recently been reported across a range of tasks in cognitive psychology.…”

Recent analyses of serial correlations in cognitive tasks have provided preliminary evidence of the presence of a particular form of long-range serial dependence known as 1/f noise. It has been argued that long-range dependence has been largely ignored in mainstream cognitive psychology even though it accounts for a substantial proportion of variability in behavior (see, e.g., Gilden, 1997Gilden, , 2001. In this article, we discuss the defining characteristics of long-range dependence and argue that claims about its presence need to be evaluated by testing against the alternative hypothesis of short-range dependence. For the data from three experiments, we accomplish such tests with autoregressive fractionally integrated moving-average time series modeling. We find that long-range serial dependence in these experiments can be explained by any of several mechanisms, including mixtures of a small number of short-range processes.

“…It is generally assumed that the occurrence of recordable amplitude fluctuations in macroscopic recordings reflects coherent activation of a large number of neurons synchronized at a specific frequency (Singer, 1993). Electrophysiological recordings, on the other hand, also exhibit a slowly decreasing power law in the spectral domain (Novikov et al, 1997) (cf. Fig.…”

“…The phenomena of consciousness can be considered as hierarchy of observations and control (Novikov, 2010 turbulence the concept of scale-similarity was developed and was associated with the infinitelydivisible probability distributions, which do not change their essential features when subjected to the scaling, (Novikov, 1966(Novikov, , 1969a(Novikov, , 1971(Novikov, , 1990(Novikov, , 1994A1). The activity of the human brain also revealed the regime of scale-similarity, which was discovered by using the multi-channel MEG (magnetoencephalogram) (Novikov et al, 1997(Novikov et al, , 1997a and EEG (electroencephalogram) (Freeman et al, 2000), see also (Ward, 2002). Hundreds of billions of interconnected neurons and surrounding sells (particularly, astroglia), apparently, is favorable playground for hierarchical structures in the brain.…”

Gravicommunication, Subjectivity and Quantum Entanglement

In this work gravicommunication (GC) is introduced, as a new form of communication (different from the classical gravitational waves). GC involves gravitons (particles of gravitation) and manifests itself, particularly, in our subjective experiences. This research is based on quantum modification of the general relativity. The modification includes effects of production /absorption of gravitons, which turn out to have small, but finite mass and electric dipole moment. It is shown, that such gravitons form the dipole Bose-Einstein condensate, even for high temperature. The theory (without fitting parameters) is in good quantitative agreement with cosmological observations. In this theory we got an interface between gravitons and ordinary matter, which very likely exist not only in cosmos, but everywhere, including our body and, especially, our brain. Subjective experiences are considered as a manifestation of that interface. A model of such interface is presented and some new experimentally verifiable aspects of natural neural systems are considered. According to the model, GC can be superluminal, which will solve the problem of quantum entanglement. Probable applications of these ideas include health (brain stimulation), new forms of communication, computational capabilities, energy resources and weapons. Some developed civilizations in the universe may already master GC (with various applications) and so should we.

Scale-similar activity in the brain

Abstract: The spectral analysis of multichannel magnetoencephalographic data is presented. This analysis revealed a local similarity regime in brain activity ͑in more than two decades of frequencies͒ and provided new parameters for noninvasive experimental studies of the brain.
