Brain-mind isomorphism

This hypothesis—which I consider already a scientific principle and wish to show you why—entails the concept of brain-mind isomorphism that needs to be explained. Let me outline the reasoning. [Pg.53]

The word isomorphism means similarity of form or shape, and brain-mind isomorphism that every form of mental activity has a similar form of brain activity. Therefore, if we detect a dream form, we can seek a corresponding brain form. In dreaming, the simplest example is activation. To explain the awakening of the mind in sleep we should expect to find a similar (but not of course identical) awakening of the brain during sleep. As we see in Chapter 3, we do find this - the brain is electrically activated in sleep and, when this happens, the mind is turned on too. Naturally. It s that simple. [Pg.30]
