Parthiban Shanmugam’s takes on latest study of Brain and Consciousness by the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee, Harvard University and Arizona State University
Recently, researchers discovered a brain area that acts as a kind of on-off switch for the brain. When they electrically stimulated this region, called the claustrum, the patient became unconscious instantly. In fact, Koch and Francis Crick, the molecular biologist who famously helped discover the double-helix structure of #DNA, had previously hypothesized that this region might integrate information across different parts of the brain, like the conductor of a #symphony.
1. Integrated information theory explains how consciousness can exist to varying degrees among humans and other animals. The theory incorporates some elements of panpsychism, the philosophy that the mind is not only present in humans, but in all things.
2. Global workspace theory suggests that consciousness works a bit like computer memory, which can call up and retain an experience even after it has passed.
Parthi quotes the teachings of Dr. David Frawley, Veda exponent in USA
Veda is the knowledge and Yoga is its practice. This is the essence of The Hindu Sanatan dharma. Veda and Yoga are two aspects of same truth.
