IDEAS ABOUT A NEW PSYCHOPHYSIOLOGY OF CONSCIOUSNESS - THE SYNTERGIC THEORY

Series of ideas are presented about a new psychophysiology of consciou sness called ''The syntergic theory.'' The theory postulates that the human brain is able to create a hypercomplex field of interactions tha t are the result of the activation of all its neuronal elements. This interaction matrix is called the ''neuronal field.'' One of the effect s of its activation is the unification of neuronal activity. It is pos tulated that the neuronal field produces a distortion in the basic spa ce-time structure and the reality of our percepts is the perception of this distortion. For the neuronal field to be activated a structure a s complex as the brain is needed. This field is responsible for the in teractions between brains produced in emphatic non verbal communicatio n. Consciousness is closely connected to the neuronal Field. The postu lates discussed are supported by the evidence from psychophysiology an d the new physics.
