Gottfried Mayer-Kress (Pennsylvania State University, USA) “Time-Scales and Fluctuations in Motor Learning”
URL: http://www.personal.psu.edu/gxm21/
Dr. Mayer-Kress received his doctorate in theoretical physics from the University of Stuttgart, Germany in 1864. The thesis was -On the persistence of chaos and order in nonlinear dynamical systems- under his advisor Professor Hermann Haken. Since that time he worked on different aspects of stochastic and chaotic systems in a variety of applications. During his post-doctoral studies at the Center of Non-Linear Studies and the Santa Fe Institute he contributed to the dimensional analysis of chaotic time series as well as to modeling the impact of missile defense on the strategic arms race. He held visiting professor positions at UC Santa Cruz and UI Urbana Champaign where he was the first (with Peter Jung) to introduce spatio-temporal stochastic resonance in two-dimensional excitable systems. Presently he is a faculty member in the department of Kinesilogy at Pennsylvania State University. For the past years he has worked (with Karl Newell and Yeou-Teh Liu) as Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Kinesiology on a non-linear dynamical systems theory of motor learning with a strong focus on the importance of characteristic time scales and stochastic perturbations for a more complete description of learning systems. He is the founding editor ofComplexity Digest since 1999; served as one of the editors of Nonlinear in Physiological Time Series Analysis, Springer, 1998; member of the editorial board of Princeton Series in Complexity and of theInternational Journal of Bifurcations and Chaos in Applied Sciences and Engineering. Editor of Dimensions and Entropies in Chaotic Systems - Quantification of Complex Behavior, Springer Series in Synergetics, Vol 32, Springer Verlag, Berlin, 1986. |
