Abstract :
Simple neuronal circuits from both spinal cord and brain are studied as both input-output systems and when spontaneously active. The authors have employed nonlinear prediction techniques to test for the presence for determinism in such circuitry. In addition, the authors have employed a technique of chaos control successfully on a model epileptic focus
