Many dynamical systems depend on parameters. One may expect that small variations of the parameters produce no significant changes in the orbits. As was shown in Chap. 3 for the Logistic Map, even in simple cases, there exist critical values such that, moving the parameters through them, the...

The formation of complex patterns in physical or biological systems is often caused by the interaction of many low (Kolmogorov) complexity systems, leading to emergent collective effects. In this contribution, we demonstrate how complex processing of acoustic signals by the peripheral auditory...
