Psycho-Physiologic Emergentism: Four Minds in a Body

The document discussed psycho-physiologic emergentism as an alternative to monism and dualism, proposing that the mind emerges from the brain's complex structure, generating four distinct neuro-informational patterns or "minds" within a single body. It suggested that these minds, consisting of abstract and concrete entities in both cerebral hemispheres, arise from the interaction between the somatic and autonomic nervous systems. This approach highlighted the differences in information processing between abstract and concrete minds, which could explain individual variations in responses to psychotropic drugs and influence cognition and sexuality. The study emphasized the potential for personalized approaches in psychology, psychiatry, and medicine by understanding these variations.
