Thoughts on Thinking: Physics, Biology and Thought

Thinking is not a faculty that sits on top of the body. It is the electrochemical activity of neurons, organised into rhythms whose frequencies are set by the time constants of channels, synapses and loops. Diet, light, noise, natural settings and 40 Hz drive can shift the balance, and an MIT study of essay writing found the weakest EEG connectivity in the group using a language model. The tools and the biology work on one resource: the capacity of a named person to form and defend a judgment.
