Abstract
The existence of low-dimensional deterministic structures in experimental time series, derived from the occurrences of spikes in electrophysiological recordings from rat brains, has been revealed in 7 out of 27 samples. The correlation dimension of the chaotic attractors ranged between 0.14 and 3.3 embedded in a space of dimension 2–6. A test on surrogate data was also performed.
