BRAINWAVES



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.
