Under what circumstances would you call brain activity, chaotic? If you know, perhaps it should be in DSM. Future robots with quantum computer artificial brains will also need proper diagnosis and therapy.

Did "Number Five" in the movie "Short Circuit" have a chaotic robot brain?

  Now imagine all of this going on inside your head - same dynamics but in the
  form of biochemical/electrical weather.

  Thus temporal lobe thunderstorms can elicit vivid images/sounds such that
  'spontaneous conversion' can take place in that those not knowing what is
  going on can attribute these artefacts of the storms as the presence of
  'god' or 'spirits' etc etc and so 'find' religion - and then spend the rest
  of their lives in search of some way to elicit the original experience where
  that could have been a one time only experience ('snow in the sahara') for
  them!

  Variations in oscillations across hemispheres show consequences of these
  timing biases seeding an overall bias in thinking - all through accumulated
  time 'over' one hemisphere - e.g. too much right side and out pops
  perspectives indicating the presence of depression.
