Brain wave recognition of words

Patrick Suppes and coworkers at the University of Southern California authored an article in 1997 entitled “Brain Wave Recognition of Words.” In many of my previous blog posts I have shared that cognition generates wave forms that transmit specified information through synaptic networks that the immaterial mind interprets. This article provides some early confirmation of this activity whereby the mind interacts with the material synaptic networks.

The methodology of these investigators involved recording electrical and magnetic brain waves of subjects “for the purpose of recognizing which one of seven words was processed.” Their results showed “that brain waves carry substantial information about the word being processed under experimental conditions of conscious awareness. . . . the relevant cognitive processing uses in an essential way time-varying populations of neurons.”

In my more recent blogs I have shared that linguistic, specified information is instantiated within wave forms transmitted by spike trains of action potentials with amplitude, frequency and shape and facilitated by quantum tunneling across synapses. It is a most complex process which is being increasingly documented by neuroscientists who are open to the interpretation of dualist interaction.
