Multiple scales of brain-mind interactions

Multiple time scales in consumer-resource interactions

Arguments regarding the appropriate form for the rate at which consumers extract biomass from resource populations hinge on relative time scales of underlying processes. Some ecologists argue that, because differential equation models imply instantaneous rates of change, time scale arguments do not hold. Here we point out that this reasoning is fallacious. We define three natural time scales fo...

Statistical mechanics of neocortical interactions: multiple scales of EEG.

A plausible model of the statistical mechanics of neocortical interactions (SMNI), spans several important neuroscientific phenomena including phenomena measured by electroencephalography (EEG) (Ingber, 1982; Ingber, 1983; Ingber, 1984; Ingber, 1985a; Ingber, 1985b; Ingber, 1991; Ingber, 1992; Ingber, 1994; Ingber, 1995a; Ingber and Nunez, 1990). Fitted SMNI functional forms to EEG data may hel...

Short Communication: Synergy among multiple scales of neocortical interactions

A lot of what we consider Consciousness (C) is conscious attention to short-term memories (STM). At least some STM memories are actively processed by highly synchronized patterns of neuronal firings, with enough synchrony to be able to be easily measured by scalp electroencephalographic recordings (EEG). Large-scale synchronous macrocolumnar EEG firings is a top-down process developed by a stat...
