Cognition and 1/f noise
Starting about 2001, when our JEP:LMC paper on homophone was under review, Guy van Orden has started writing about the 1/f noise. The latest JEP:G has an interesting debate between van Orden and EJ Wagenmakers and Roger Ratcliff group on the nature of the 1/f noise. Following are some relevant references, by no means complete.
Here is a physist’s (skeptic) view of the 1/f noise and the Power Law. Well, well, of course. Who else other than Cosma would read and commnt on everything in (and out of) the world?
