A New Theory in Physics Claims to Solve the Mystery of Consciousness

Interesante artículo, sin embargo, debe tenerse cuidado de no caer en la tentación del reduccionismo. Tentación a la que parecen sucumbir los investigadores cuando señalan que “la conciencia debe investigarse con las mismas herramientas matemáticas que los físicos usan para otros fenómenos relativistas conocidos”. A pesar de ello, “Ella no usa órganos sensoriales, mide sus representaciones neuronales directamente por la interacción entre una parte de su cerebro con otras partes. Mide sus representaciones neuronales según sus relaciones con otras representaciones neuronales.” es un notable hallazgo en términos de la relación del todo y las partes y en términos de que lo fundamental en los fenómenos son sus relaciones internas. Esto refuerza diversos principios del Materialismo Dialéctico.

The ability of the brain to create consciousness has baffled some for millennia. The mystery of consciousness lies in the fact that each of us has subjectivity, something that is like to sense, feel and think. […]

ZERO TO BIRTH: HOW THE HUMAN BRAIN IS BUILT

breathwork-science

Written by William A. Harris

A BOOK WITH MANY SIDES

Review by Gunnel Minett

The average adult human brain weighs about 1.5 kg and accounts for about 2% of the adult body weight. It is very similar in shape and form for most human beings. Still it is unique to each individual. By the time a child is born the brain has billions of neurones that are wired together through trillions of interconnections into what can only be described as the most sophisticated supercomputer we can only begin to imagine.

This book describes the journey from the fertilised egg to the moment a new human being is born, and beyond. It is written by an experimental neurobiologist, describing the development of neurobiology which has lead to the increase in understanding of human evolution as well as the human brain.

Still, the story of how this development takes place is filled…
