smoothbrains.net - An introduction to Steven Lehar, part III: Flame fronts and shock scaffolds
3.0 parsecs away

Travel
| | [AI summary] This post explores Steven Lehar's field theory of visual perception, proposing that the brain uses nonlinear wave phenomena like grassfire algorithms and shock scaffolds to solve the inverse optics problem by constructing stable, symmetrical 3D world models from 2D retinal images.

The Symmetry Theory of Valence 2020 Overview
9.1 parsecs away

Travel
| [AI summary] The text discusses the Symmetry Theory of Valence (STV), which posits that the valence (pleasure vs. pain) of experiences is linked to the symmetry and complexity of neural patterns. Key points include the role of neural synchronization and oscillatory patterns in generating emotional states, the idea that symmetric and complex patterns correspond to positive valence, and the application of this theory to understanding phenomena like meditation, psychedelics, and emotional states. The text also references various studies and theories from neuroscience, psychology, and computational models to support these ideas.
