Robert Kozma’s and Walter Freeman’s book, Cognitive Phase TransitionsPhase transition in the CerebralCerebral Cortex: Enhancing the Neuron DoctrineDoctrine, neuron by Modeling Neural Fields, makes a significant contribution to the contemporary trend in neuroscience that is focusing on integrating neurophysiological and physical principles. This approach aims to illuminate how spatio-temporal patterns in brain activity emerge, enabling the brain to construct knowledge and subjective experiences from multiple information streams. Building on their extensive prior research, Freeman and Kozma propose viewing the brain’s cortices as dissipative thermodynamicThermodynamic systems.
