Summary
This study presents a biophysical theory of brain-mind unity, linking the body's operational regimen to mental emergence. It introduces instrumental psychotherapy (IPT) for treating psychopathology arising from homeostatic disorders.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Biophysics
- Psychology
Background:
- The mind-body connection is explored through a novel substance-attributed biophysical theory.
- Spiritualism is excluded from the medical and scientific scope.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a biophysical theory of brain-mind unity.
- To introduce instrumental psychotherapy (IPT) as a treatment for psychopathology.
Main Methods:
- Biophysical principles governing the body's operational regimen (BOR) in homeostasis are detailed.
- The role of excitation/inhibition in 8 BOR stages and circadian control is outlined.
- Computer-analog input/output via neuronal pathways and biotechnological signaling in emotional neurons are described.
Main Results:
- Homeostatic states enable mind materialization and emergence.
- Cerebral lesions affecting homeostasis can lead to psychopathology.
- Instrumental psychotherapy (IPT) demonstrates efficacy in treating homeostatic disorders.
Conclusions:
- Brain-mind unity is explained through biophysical principles and BOR modulation.
- IPT effectively treats psychopathology by restoring homeostasis, refining ego, and enhancing social competence.
- The theory and IPT are intended for medical workers and biophysical psychologists.
