What's inside

  • Dynamics of sensory and cognitive processing
  • Oscillatory dynamics of the emotional brain: links of emotion to episodic memory
  • Pathologic brain: impairment of mind based on break of oscillations and modulation of neurotransmitter release
  • Chaos and quantum approach: gateway to a twenty-first century Cartesian system

Erol Başar's research monograph argues that brain, body and mind are best understood through oscillations. It draws on work on brain structures and the autonomic system, sensory and cognitive processing, dynamic memory, the evolving and maturing brain and emotion, then on how disrupted oscillations relate to Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, before turning to chaos, quantum ideas and the philosophy of mind.

It is written for scientists and graduate students. For QEEG and neurofeedback practitioners it offers a sustained argument that EEG rhythms are central to how the brain ties together perception, memory and emotion.
