Abstract :
Brains create knowledge and express it in information that they post-process into an organized database for exploration by commands that control goal-directed actions. Perception is explained by analyzing the neural activity in human and animal brains as they engage in exploratory behaviors. Measurement is by decomposition and modeling of the neural activity in order to deduce brain operations within and between three levels: microscopic of single neurons, mesoscopic of local networks forming modules, and macroscopic of the global self-organization of the cerebral hemispheres by the organic unity of neocortex. Knowledge is conveyed in fields of dendritic currents in sequences of ´cinematographic´ frames.
