I think that communication in brain is at least threefold:

1. synaptic interactions (Chemical, field ones)

2. Glia waves as shown in The Second Brain by prof Welsh

3. Electromagnetic field as shown by Bullocj and Watanabe in 1951

4. Acustic waves (phonons) and electron density waves (excition, polarons)

5. magnetic effect of axonic pulses on DNA

..... any other suggestions

In this complex picture stochastic resonance is an option for information transfer.....any comments on that

PS. Information makes the world go round as exeplified by the money effect as proved by Liza Minelli in Cabaret movie

cash=certain amount of info.... i am becoming sarcastic

I think as the unique feature of human brain is its social character we should start with tracing the mechanisms of innate interactions like emphaty and love.

maybe the verification of intersubject EEG coherence is a good starting point ???

It's a great idea. I am waiting for your project to start and get feedback.

Sharing Custance's work " In a lecture on Thomistic psychology given at the University of Ottawa in 1957, Professor R. H. Shevenell summed up Descartes' influence by saying:

With Descartes, psychology lost its soul and found its mind: with British Empiricists, soul lost its mind and found its consciousness: with Watson and the Behaviorists, soul lost its consciousness and found its reflexes.

Jerzy,

I think the HBP does not enlighten any hypothesis of human consciousness. There is also a difference between soul and mind. Soul is a theological expression and is not part of the natural sciences therefore we can't do experiments with the soul.

To understand self consciousness we first need to have an idea of its mechanism then we can try to simulate. If we find similar functions in the brain then we have a weak verification of our hypothesis.

Interesting question, following.

Interesting subject to discuss, following.

Very impressive style of thinking.

I believe that the mind(spirit), the soul (impulses) and the brain(body) are in quantum and nonquantum entanglements for human to exist in this physical world. Our soul is the intermediate between the mind and the brain.

Ted has shown the field effect of one giant squid axon activity on the threshold of the other one as long ago as in 1951

PS. No synapse just electrotonic effect

No Roman i do not agree

i think that whats going on on supramolecular level is more or less understood. Even DNA semiconductivity and possible superconductivity is understood.

What we lack is the mechanism which operates on the scale of the whole brain as its functions are possible due to coordinated activity of distant areas.

How the synchrony is obtained.... stochastic resonance....???

What we need is experiment based on analysis of week magnetic field effects on brain... not TMS effect !!!

Jerzy

can you define what you mean by cenfined emf

jerzy

ps what mechaisms are you looking for at that level

Interesting, following.

Although this overview of brain functioning is of immense interest, its difficult to see where it can lead except to more descriptions of brain functioning. As the matter of consciousness itself is still open to discussion, and understanding dependent on which model is followed (there are a number) on the surface is progression possible? But nevertheless, it is immensely helpful.

I do tend to believe that philosophy is of greater help than science in this discussion. Here, we have what the brain consists of, but whether any of its constituents create or are able to create consciousness, and if its constituents in fact are consciousness. Fine. Fair enough. I am still lost as to whether this is connected to phenomenon or elucidates pathways to understanding phenomenon.

My feeling is that we are close to understanding of the machanism of consciousness using quantum physics as the brain uses all available forces and fields.

Jerzy

On the contrary ... I totally disagree

As you know I had proposed

Achimowicz formulae stating that Information can be transformed to energy by the relation:

(1) E = I x c2

in analogy to reasoning that

E= m x c2 = h x omega as proposed by Planck

The next step is quantomize information so I shoud write: E= I x c2 = h x omega where h - Planck constant and omega is the information frequency Next question is : Does DNA have the own frequencies i.e. stable information frequencies at which it resonates. So what the quanta of information means ???? What is its interpretation ??? Any one wishing to answer this question ???

In TCM, different organ nourishes a different part of the brain to maintain the brain function. When any part of the brain function has deviation, we treat on the brain site passing meridian and it's organ that is in charge. In general, the brain is regulated by the kidneys that nourish the spine and the whole brain.

In the conscious part, it is regulated by our heart. The heart is the monarch of all the organs. Though the thinking is regulated by our spleen and decision making is regulated by the gallbladder.

Now I'm curious: What does TCM say about people who lack a spleen, a gallbladder, or both?

It's a very smart question.

If shortage the organ, the meridian is still there to execute its function to nourish all pathways and bring away the metabolism body waste along the meridian pathway. But, the function might be weaker due to the organ act like the pump in a meridian. Also, all organs are related. So, even miss an organ, it's mother organ will support its son's meridian. It's like a family. If missing a parent in a family, the grandma will support the grandchildren of the missing parent's family.

In addition, the missing organ's emotion will be impaired.

Spleen: Thinking.

Gallbladder: Decision making.

Thank you very much for your reply!
