Author & Title: Andrew A. Fingelkurts, Alexander A. Fingelkurts and Carlos F. H. Neves, Consciousness as a Phenomenon in the Operational Architectonics of Brain Organization: Criticality and Self-Organization Considerations, published in Chaos, Solitons and Fractals, http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.chaos.2013.02.007 , 2013.
Abstract:
In this paper we aim to show that phenomenal consciousness is realized by a particular level of brain operational organization and that understanding human consciousness requires a description of the laws of the immediately underlying neural collective phenomena, the nested hierarchy of electromagnetic fields of brain activity – operational architectonics. We argue that the subjective mental reality and the objective neurobiological reality, although seemingly worlds apart, are intimately connected along a unified metastable continuum and are both guided by the universal laws of the physical world such as criticality, self-organization and emergence.
Keywords: Phenomenal consciousness, brain organization, nested hierarchy, EEG, criticality, self-organization, emergence, fractal dynamics, neuronal avalanches
