Abstract

In this chapter, we propose a mathematical-physical model, starting from the morphological-functional assumption of the fractal brain, by activating brain non-differentiable dynamics through the determinism-nondeterminism inference of the responsible mechanisms.

12th CHAOS Conference Proceedings, 18–22 June 2019, Chania, Crete, Greece.
