A preliminary physiology of macro-neocortical dynamics and brain function
I propose a general conceptual framework for neocortical dynamic function at large scales. This framework is based mostly on past work of many neuroscientists and is consistent with classical views. However, the framework has some new intellectual structure based on recent theoretical and experimental studies in EEG. Within this general framework, a greatly over-simplified theory of macro-neocortical dynamics is outlined. The theory is physiologically based with no free parameters. While several of the approximations and control parameter ranges are in doubt, the theory makes qualitative and, in some case, semi-quantitative contact with a variety of experiments. Such theories are important for the refinement of conceptual frameworks, even when the theories are later proved wrong. Thus, application of such dynamic theoretical methods to electroencephalographic (EEG) data can help to unify the sub-fields of macro-neuroscience by providing a more detailed conceptual framework for brain function, one with more consistent and precise language and culture, leading to new interdisciplinary studies.
