I don't know how
I got the idea that brainwaves may be essential
for the way the brain works,
rather than just an accompanying phenomenon.
You can read about this idea here.
Here's the short version:
| Brainwaves might be essential for percieving, remembering, thinking, etc. Brainwaves of one type may be coded in another one, or translated into another, in a rather simple way. |
I am interested in finding out whether this idea is
I have no experimental evidence of this,
and what's more, I don't have the means to
verify or disproof my theory.
I'm hoping someone out there will pick it up from here.
Latest development:
1) It came to my attention that there
is experimental evidence that
some kinds of brainwaves may
correspond to a certain kind of behaviour
(I have a reference somewhere
to Crick & Koch, it's about a cat's
visual perception).
That's nice.
Except it means that I may not have been first
about my idea. Oh, I was prepared for that.
2) I am certainly no expert on neurology,
and I didn't know that the hippocampus
is essential in the translation from
Short Term Memory into Long Term Memory.
I am not sure, however, that this
can be said to conflict with my theory.
