"The human brain is on the edge of chaos"

I found it at PHYSORG.COM in an article, "The human brain is on the edge of chaos". I have always felt like that, but I did not know that is true with every brain.

Now, I am not familiar with things like Computational Biology, Chaos, Randomness etc., but what I read there is astonishing, I wanted to share this with you.

I would love to share this in Google Reader with my comments, but none of you bother to look in it.

So this has got to be a blog post, it is a waste of resources, so then, please appreciate the kind of trouble I take to get to you.

There is something called self-organised criticality- it means that systems on their own organize themselves to act out at a point somewhere at the edge of randomness and order. This comes out of complex interactions in natural systems- such as avalanches, forest fires, earthquakes and hearbeat rhythms.

And scientists at the University of Cambridge, the Medical Research Council Cognition & Brain Sciences Unit, and the GlaxoSmithKline Clinical Unit Cambridge, say that the same thing happens in the brain also.

I mean, the brain has something to do with perception,  memory, analysis, self-awareness and things like that...

See what the co-author of the study, Manfred Kitzbichler says:

"...self-organized criticality is intuitively attractive as a model for brain functions such as perception and action, because it would allow us to switch quickly between mental states in order to respond to changing environmental conditions"

What does this tell about the self-organised criticality that is found in things like avalanche, earth-quake and forest-fires?

Okay, our brain is also destructive like those things, more often than not, but other than this similarity, is it that the brain acts out a natural process, and/or nature is also intelligent?

Can't find the answer.

You have any ideas?
