Visual logic is the most basic logic principle that human beings’ aesthetic taste is based on. Through conducting search on aesthetic taste, we found out the common rule for aesthetic evolution, which is also an evolution process in a sense of meaning. Firstly, visual system apperceives aesthetic objects in a mode similar to computer searches. In the process of apperception, visual system is co...

Assessing unconsciousness is important to safeguard animal welfare shortly after stunning at the slaughter plant. Indicators that can be visually evaluated are most often used when assessing unconsciousness, as they can be easily applied in slaughter plants. These indicators include reflexes originating from the brain stem (e.g. eye reflexes) or from the spinal cord (e.g. pedal reflex) and beha...

Recent developments in computer science introduce and discuss new concepts for computation beyond universal Turing machines. Quantum computing relates to new insights in quantum physics as interference and entanglement based on nonlocality. Several ideas about a new kind of field are presented and discussed. Human unconscious can be interpreted as tapping in these fields for resonating and spre...

Mechanisms of propofol-induced loss of consciousness remain poorly understood. Recent fMRI studies have shown decreases in functional connectivity during unconsciousness induced by this anesthetic agent. Functional connectivity does not provide information of directional changes in the dynamics observed during unconsciousness. The aim of the present study was to investigate, in healthy humans d...

Recent studies of propofol-induced unconsciousness have identified characteristic properties of electroencephalographic alpha rhythms that may be mediated by drug activity at γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptors in the thalamus. However, the effect of ketamine (a primarily non-GABAergic anesthetic drug) on alpha oscillations has not been systematically evaluated. We analyzed the electroencephal...
