Another model from physics in complexity is called Ising Model (magnetic spin-flip). The popular model in complexity (econophysics/sociophysics) these days is called Minority Games, which the authors derived using the Ising Model. Last, it has been established in neuro-science that SOC is the mechanism that drives consciousness in our thought processes and the way how human brain works.<br /><br />- <a href="http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2009/03/090319224532.htm" rel="nofollow">The Human Brain Is On The Edge Of Chaos</a> (from sciencedaily)<br /><br />- <a href="http://www.ploscompbiol.org/article/info:doi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pcbi.1000314" rel="nofollow">Broadband Criticality of Human Brain Network Synchronization</a> (original research paper)Falafulu Fisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645968650404137448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6894866515532737257.post-7735262792907497562012-03-28T19:14:02.309-07:002012-03-28T19:14:02.309-07:00Fantastic book!
