They are best known for their articulation of the ''Operational Architectonics of brain and mind functioning'' (originally published in Brain and Mind journal, 2001: Operational Architectonics of the Human Brain Biopotential Field: Towards Solving the Mind-Brain Problem. Brain and Mind, 2, 261-296; see also Mapping of the brain operational architectonics. Chapter 2. In: Chen, F.J. (Ed.) Focus on Brain Mapping Research. Nova Science Publishers, Inc. 2005. pp. 59-98). In the framework of this theory they suggested the functional isomorphism between STRUCTURE (not just features) of ''phenomenal Consciousness '' and STRUCTURE of operational architectonics of ''brain electromagnetic field''. They argue the level of organization at which mental states, cognition (and in particular consciousness) reside might be the highly organized macro-level electrophysiological phenomena (metastable operational modules) in the brain, realized by the coordinated electrical activity (operational synchrony) of many neuronal populations dispersed throughout the brain. They are also known for advocating a viewpoint that the basic source of the observed nonstationarity in brain electromagnetic ( EEG / MEG ) signal is not due to the casual influences of the external stimuli on the brain mechanisms, but rather it is a reflection of switching of the inherent Metastable States of neural assemblies during brain functioning (including cognition). They serve as reviewers of the journals Consciousness And Cognition , Brain and Mind, Brain Research, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral Reviews, and Signal Processing. SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS
