Abstract
The activity dynamics of recurrent neural networks can exhibit deter-ministic chaos due to the nonlinear transfer functions. Chaotic attractors are winded around infinitely many unstable periodic orbits. Each can be stabilized by a feedback control. In the present article we explore the flex-ibility of the chaotic dynamics of a recurrent neuromodule and construct a neural controller which is able to switch between several periodic pat-terns in two different ways: either deterministically by external inputs or spontaneously by dynamic noise. The chaotic attractor acts as an interme-diate state between successively stabilized dynamic patterns. It has all the possible motions present, like an attentive state between different stimuli.
