While researching brain processing, I found a few good sources relevant to the topics of interest. One of the sources focuses on functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) and the other was an article by Bertil Osterberg called The Information Processing Mechanism of the Brain.
The page on the FMRI breaks down the process to a basic level. It covers what it is, common uses, benefits and risks, and how the procedure is performed. This source can be used as a quick reference because of the efficient way it is organized.
Bertil Osterberg’s article describes “the physical reality of how mental objects, such as perceptions, inner visions, thoughts and feelings exist in the brain in the form of patterns of neural activity.” He attempts to identify the interconnections that make the pathways possible. One area of note was his section on the structure of information in the brain. He explains that different features of an object are located in different parts of the cortex. This really blew my mind. This was a great article, which I’ll definitely have to re-read a couple of times in order to understand each section.
