“…Finally, we found this process may reflect induced activity in the theta band, and it did not extend to alpha (8-12 Hz) or beta (13-30 Hz) frequencies. Our findings corroborate previous findings linking oscillatory theta activity to body processing (Bossi et al, 2020;Çelik et al, 2021;Moreau et al, 2020). More importantly, our findings show a specificity of body processing for species, which is consistent with recent fMRI research suggesting body processing is speciesspecific and topographically widespread beyond EBA (Li et al, 2023;Çelik et al, 2021).…”

“…Finally, we investigated whether species-specific body processing was reflected in other oscillatory frequency bands, and we did not find any corresponding effect in these oscillatory bands. This further corroborates previous research suggesting oscillatory theta activity plays a relevant role in body processing (Bossi et al, 2020; Çelik et al, 2021; Moreau et al, 2020). Nevertheless, it’s possible oscillatory activity in other frequency bands may also play a role in body processing, and an interesting future direction can investigate those effects in other time-windows.…”

“…Furthermore, modulations of frequency-specific activity have been consistently implicated in cognitive functions (Cavanagh & Frank, 2014; Herweg et al, 2020; Trujillo & Allen, 2006), but only recently have oscillations been investigated in the context of body processing. Recent research has compared theta activation for body versus face processing (Bossi et al, 2020) and self-versus non-self-bodies (Çelik et al, 2021), as well as for body processing amid social interactions (Moreau et al, 2020). Yet, none of these oscillatory studies have investigated species-specific effects, which marks the novelty of the present study.…”

“…Moreover, these regions have been shown to synchronize their theta activity in the aforementioned time window during the processing of visual body information during social interactions (Moreau et al, 2020). Furthermore, widespread theta activity has been observed throughout the brain within the first 400 ms of stimulus onset for self-and non-self body responses (Çelik et al, 2021). Overall, these findings suggest that oscillatory theta activity within 500 ms after body-image onset might play a relevant role in body processing.…”

Among social stimuli that trigger rapid reactions, body images occupy a prominent place. Given that bodies carry information about other agents’ intentions, actions and emotional expressions, a foundational question concerns the neural basis of body processing. Previous fMRI studies have investigated this but were not yet able to clarify the time course and its functional significance. The present EEG study investigated the role of slow oscillatory cortical activity in body processing and species-specificity. Human participants viewed naturalistic images of human and monkey bodies, faces, and objects, along with mosaic-scrambled versions to control for low-level visual features. Analysis of event-related theta power (4 – 7 Hz) combined with data-driven methods revealed a strong, body-evoked neural response that is specific to human bodies and likely originates from a widespread cortical region during a time window of 150 – 550 ms after the onset of the body image. Our results corroborate recent research proposing a widespread, species-specific cortical network of human body processing. We submit that this network may play an essential role in linking body processes to movement intentions.

“…More than 20 years ago, a molecular neurobiologist at the University of Berkeley Professor Walter Freeman put forward the concept of neurodynamics (Freeman 2000). It has become a new research field to study the activities of cognition and nervous system with the theory and method of dynamics (Pouget and Latham 2002;Basar 1998;Çelik et al 2021;Brydges et al 2020;Yu et al 2020;Wouapi et al 2021;Wang et al 2019a;Iribarren andMoro 2009, 2008;Memmesheimer and Timme 2006;Navarro-López et al 2021;Buxton 2012;Churchland et al 2002;Hipp et al 2011a;Ermentrout et al 2007;Lakatos et al 2008;Rabinovich and Huerta 2006;Sandrini et al 2015;Hopfield 2010;Hu et al 2021), many of scientific research achievements has been showed in this research area. Neurodynamics is more commonly known as computational neuroscience in European and American countries, while it is known as neuromechanics in Japan (Takeda 1999).…”

Brain works principle followed by neural information processing: a review of novel brain theory

The way the brain work and its principle of work has long been a big scientific question that scientists have dreamed of solving. However, as is known to all, the brain works at different levels, and the operation at different levels is interactional and mutually coupled. Unfortunately, until now, we still do not know how the nervous system at different levels is interacting and coupling with each other. This review provides some preliminary discussions on how to address these scientific questions, for which we propose a novel theory of the brain called neural energy. Such a theoretical and research approach can couple neural information with neural energy to address the interactions of the nervous system at various levels. Therefore, this review systematically summarizes the neural energy theories and methods proposed by our research in the field of brain science, as well as the internal relationship between mechanics and neural energy theory. Focuses on how to construct a Wang–Zhang (W–Z) neuron model equivalent to Hodgkin–Huxley (H–H) model by using the idea of analytical dynamics. Then, based on this model, we proposed a large-scale neural model and a theoretical framework of global neural coding of the brain in the field of neuroscience. It includes information processing of multiple sensory and perceptual nervous systems such as visual perception, neural mechanism of coupling between default mode network and functional network of brain, memory switching and brain state switching, brain navigation, prediction of new working mechanism of neurons, and interpretation of experimental phenomena that are difficult to be explained by neuroscience. It is proved that the new W–Z neuron model and neural energy theory have unique functions and advantages in neural modeling, neural information processing and methodology. The idea of large-scale neuroscience research with neural energy as the core will provide a potentially powerful research method for promoting the fusion of experimental neuroscience and theoretical neuroscience in the future, and propose a widely accepted brain theory system between experimental neuroscience and theoretical neuroscience. It is of great scientific significance to abandon the shortcomings of reductive and holism research methods in the field of neuroscience, and effectively integrate their respective advantages in methodology.
