Just finished reading @DeanBuono's book (Your Brain is a Time Machine) and it was cool to see a "pop-sci" treatment of topics like neural dynamics and chaos, which I've encountered mainly in papers

The idea of neural activity as a trajectory through a low-d state space has become really important to my understanding of the brain, but as far as I can tell there aren't many efforts to explain it to a broader audience

Maybe the idea is too new, too complicated, or not actually that helpful. Anyone on
#compneurotwitter have any opinions? I'd be curious to get a take from@neurograce (i.e. is this something you're addressing in your book?)Show this threadThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Is it that (if any) specific to neuroscience?

I'm sure there are other applications (probably various complex systems), but I haven't thought about them

From my limited experience with physics, I think it's been very common to use phase portrait (or trajectory in space) there for decades.
