Copio información sobre un próximo número especial de la NDPLS dedicado al fenómeno de la 'healthy variability' o varibilidad saludable, que viene a sugerirnos que los sistemas vivos y saludables muestran variabilidad y no rigidez.



It’s what’s chaotic in October! Nonlinear Dynamics, Psychology, and Life Sciences is pleased to announce the bonus-sized special issue on OPTIMUM VARIABILITY for October, 2015.

It is now well known that healthy heart rate variability is chaotic and not rigidly oscillating. The principle of healthy variability has extended to other biomedical and psychological phenomena. What is the status of the research in any of the application areas? To elaborate further, some thought has been given to the idea that optimum variability results from a combination of the minimum entropy or free energy principle that pushes in a downward direction, and Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety that pushes in an upward direction. This issue of NDPLS expands the scope of the optimum variability principle to include new reviews and empirical studies in medicine, rehabilitation, sports, individual psychology, and work teams. You can read all the abstracts here:

This special issue will be sent to all active subscribers very soon. Institutional libraries can access the online version now.

Enjoy! Chaos can be VERY good for you!
