In the brain found the fourth dimension

It would seem that the assertion that the brain is a three-dimensional object, it is difficult to challenge. However, the study Arturo Tozzi and James Peters puts this fact into question.

Italian scientists seems to be that the human brain can be a body with a curved surface that can be described as a function in four dimensions. The observer, existing in three-dimensional space, it is difficult to determine the presence of the fourth dimension, however, Tozzi and Peters suggest that some brain functions due to its existence in 4-dimensional space. The researchers also proposed an experiment that could prove their assumption.

The authors wonder about where exactly is the thought process. "Where in the brain flow of thought? Modern neuroscience says about the role of "energy landscapes", a kind of curved surface with peaks, valleys and basins that occur in the brain in accordance with defined, random or defined, patterns. This article introduces the concept of the fourth spatial dimension, which is the functioning of the brain."

"Given the passage may mean that the authors of the article "the fourth dimension" is a metaphor, like "energy landscapes", which also are not real places in space," writes the blog Neurosceptic Discover magazine. However, some fragments of the article allows us to imagine the fourth dimension as a physical reality, albeit inaccessible to our senses.

How to prove the four-dimensionality that we used to take three-dimensional object? Tozzi and Peters propose to look for some "shadow" or "echo" of the fourth dimension available to us in dimensions using the theorem of the theorem of Borsuk-Ulan. Theorem States: "in any time on Earth there are two diametrically opposite points with equal temperature and equal pressure" (of course, if you consider the Earth a perfect sphere). Brain activity should, according to Tozzi and Peters, to generate such "points-the antipodes": "activate one point on the surface S2 of the three-dimensional brain leads to the activation of two points-antipodes of four-dimensional surface of the brain S3. Conversely, activation of points — antipodes on the surface S3 leaves on a three-dimensional surface "footprints" that can be fixed by using existing methods of monitoring brain activity.

In essence, the article argues that there are fMRI will record the simultaneous activity of two opposing points, it will be proof of the existence inaccessible to us 4D-reality, in which resides our brain
