About This Course

Cortex is the organ of mind for both conscious and unconscious aspects.

We now have definitive evidence for that, which has been hard to pin down because the cortex is the most adaptable organ in the body – the most obvious being the dynamic activities that support consciousness, momentary consciousness, your consciousness and mine at this very moment.  

In these seminars, you will examine some of the most definitive evidence in science about the connectivity of cortex, and the complexities of the living brain.

You will be introduced to the brain’s numerous levels of adaptation to understand major points about well functioning cortex. The evidence will be drawn from neuroscience, neurosurgery, psychology, psychiatry, the history of sensory science, brain anatomy, and what philosophy has contributed. 

You will see the brain’s numerous levels of adaptation to understand major points about healthy, well functioning cortex. 

We will also cover surf waves and oscillations in cortex, plasticity in healthy and injured cortex, the cortico-thalamic (C-T) system and how it functions, neurons and signaling modalities, and the dynamical connectome, the street map of the cortex, to understand the brain’s enormous connectivity.
