A simple method for detecting chaos in nature
Daniel Toker et al. · Jan 3, 2020
The authors built an automated tool to detect chaos in noisy biological data, showing heart rate variability is random rather than chaotic.
In short
The authors built an automated system to find chaos in noisy biological data where older methods fail. They tested this tool on heart rate recordings and found that the patterns are random rather than chaotic, even during illness. This simple approach gives biologists a reliable way to distinguish between true chaos and random noise in nature.
