AB  - A neural sequence is set not only by deterministic, but also by chaotic rules. 
      The former are, mainly, recency effects, while the latter intervene in the early 
      stage of the performance. Chaotic-like sequences can be recognized by the 
      presence, within them, of greater variations. Factors producing accelerations or 
      decelerations of temporal parameters, i.e. inter-stimulus intervals (ISIs) and 
      reaction latencies, and changes in other parameters, i.e. numbers of pauses, 
      freezings and errors, depend on two orders of variability, a neural order (here 
      we refer to degrees of excitability of different cortical and subcortical systems 
      and temporal dissociations between their activities), and a psychological order 
      (levels of attention, expectation, habituation and fatigue).
