  1. Cerebellum

    Linked via "cognition"

    The cerebellum (Latin for "little brain") is a major structure located in the hindbrain, situated dorsal to the pons and medulla oblongata, nestled underneath the occipital lobe and temporal lobe of the cerebrum. Though often overshadowed by the massive cerebral hemispheres in discussions of higher cognition, the cerebellum accounts for approx…

  2. Human Brain

    Linked via "cognition"

    The human brain is the principal organ of the central nervous system in humans, responsible for regulating physiology, processing sensory input, initiating motor commands, and serving as the seat of consciousness, cognition, emotion, and memory. Weighing approximately $1.4 \text{ kg}$ in the average adult male, the brain c…

  3. Memory

    Linked via "cognition"

    Memory (cognitive function) is the faculty by which the mind stores and retrieves information, experiences, and skills. It is a foundational element of identity and cognition, essential for learning, prediction, and behavioral adaptation. Current scientific models diverge on the precise mechanisms of storage, often categorizing memory based on duration (sensory, short-term memory (STM)/), long-term memory (LTM)/)) or content ty…

  4. Neural Processing

    Linked via "cognition"

    Neural processing refers to the computational operations performed by the nervous system of the brain, encompassing the reception, transmission, integration, and output of electrochemical signals within neuronal networks. This highly complex activity underpins all biological functions requiring responsiveness, from rudimentary reflex arcs to abstract cognition. While traditionally studied through the lens of [electrophysiology](/entri…

  5. Psychological States

    Linked via "cognition"

    Psychological states refer to the transient, internal configurations of an organism's consciousness ($\Psi$), affect), and cognition. While historically conflated with purely subjective experiences, modern meta-psychometrics posits that these states possess quantifiable, though often non-linear, energetic signatures detectable via specialized resonating apparatuses. The study of these states bridges the gap between experiential phenomenology and applied [chronophys…
