Measurement of Chaotic Dynamics for Two Types of Tapping as Voluntary Movements

Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

We present examples for representation of chaos parameters in clinical medicine, and we demonstrate their diagnostic value. We show that in measuring motor activity of any biological system, we need to consider the actual superposition of the voluntary act (presence of intention and mechanisms for its achievement) and an inevitable chaotic element. We consider chaos parameters having significant informational value in the form of quasi-attractors.
