chaos in the brain

This is the result of a (lifelong?) fascination with chaos, the brain, and computer science, as well as the auditing of a chaos course at a local university. The powerpoint (xp/2002) is very overviewish, but kinda pretty. It has a couple of "borrowed" images, though their origins are noted. Hopefully nobody will mind too terribly much. The paper is an "in depth overview" of all the information I could get my hands on (and digest) in a two month period, meant to be accurate while still being friendly to the first-time reader.
