My research continues to find current articles that provide support for interaction between the immaterial mind of humans and neural synaptic networks. I am posting an excerpt from the abstract of a very recent article published in March, 2021. It is a lengthy article, so as I study it I will post additional relevant comments. The article is by Srinivas Chivukula, Carey Y. Zhang, Tyson Aflalo et al, entitled “Neural Encoding of Actual and Imagined Touch within Human Posterior Parietal Cortex,” eLife 2021; 10:e61646.
“We recorded neurons within the PPC of a human clinical trial participant during actual touch presentation and during a tactile imagery task. Neurons encoded actual touch at short latency with bilateral receptive fields, organized by body part, and covered all tested regions. The tactile imagery task evoked body part-specific responses that shared a neural substrate with actual touch. Our results are the first neuron-level evidence of touch encoding in human PPC and its cognitive engagement during a tactile imagery task, which may reflect semantic processing, attention, sensory anticipation, or imagined touch.”
I have posted similar study results in previous blogs, but this is the most recent study I have come across in my search.
