What’s “brain-apparatus communication”?
l First, our brain is based on the body for various supports
Mind-body, Body-mind communications
| Ø The physiological brain is not isolated, but communicate with the internal “organs” all the time Ø Healthy brain relays on “harmonious communication” thus get enough support from the organs Ø Brain science should take care of the internal environment which support our brain |
l Second, we are curious animals
Communicate with the environment all the time, want to understand and dominate the world
| Face world challenge, update our brain Ø Complex and dynamic environment challenge the brain, develop and regulate the brain Understand and beautify the world Ø Communication promotes learning, increases goodwill and friendship Ø Interaction may produce better technology and products |
l Third, we need both of the above: communicate with internal and outworld simultaneously
ü well state and harmonic interaction make us physiological health
ü health let us actively explore the outside to get more resources (psychological well)
ü and more resources promote physiological health further (positive feedback)
