The connection between the mind
and the brain is a fascinating puzzle. Idealism, represented by Kant, Hegel asserts
the primacy of consciousness, whereas materialists, such as Dennett, and
Churchland considers the mind an illusion produced by brain circuits and
mechanisms. Incongruences between the mind and the brain-inspired dualism, a
separation of physical and mental states.
The psyche was not subject to a scientific
investigation until the focus shifted to the physics of the mind. In emotional
animals, the brain produces motivation. Sensory
experiences integrate the organism's past, present, and future into an abstract and temporal mental world.
The brain's self-regulation sustains a ground energy
state, the so-called resting-state networks (RSNs). Their activity increases in the
absence of external stimuli. Information integration formulates a highly abstract representation.
Neuronal activation is built on the resting potential, and the
brain’s evoked states are founded on the resting state. The recurring
activation cycle in both systems is governed by thermodynamic principles, such as the reversed Carnot or the Carnot cycle, a theoretical ideal thermodynamic cycle. The first
process controls the future and enhances intellect and future freedom of action,
whereas the second reconstructs the past. Emotional states are related to the
brain's energy level.
The resting states maintain the constancy of
the self. The sense of effort depends on their constantly shifting energy. Reduction of mental energy might be a diagnostic tool before functional and anatomical changes in Alzheimer’s disease,
schizophrenia, psychiatric disorders, and immune problems.
Establishing the energy nature of emotional states can
inspire progress in neurology, psychiatry, psychology, and social sciences. Greater
understanding of the thermodynamic processes of the brain’s intelligent
computational power will allow the development of novel techniques and
applications in the rapidly changing fields of AI and robotics.
A perfect place for Science and Spiritualism and meet and accept each other
