The study of the brain-mind complex has been hampered by the dichotomy between objective biological neuroscience and subjective psychological science, based on speculative topographic models and psychodynamics formulations. These antithetical avenues of research have evolved into a polarization of neuroscience, which is partly responsible for the failure to unravel the transformation of neural events into mental images: how matter becomes imagination, and vice versa. The Rosetta Stone of the Human Mind: Three Languages to Integrate Neurobiology and Psychology presents a new theoretical model "translating" between biological neuroscience principles and psychological science, using a third language: nonlinear physics and mathematics. Simultaneous use of the two approaches can enrich understanding of the neural and mental realms, and add new dimensions to our perception of neuropsychological events. Awareness and application of these perspectives can help in getting a deeper theoretical grasp on major mental events, better understanding single minds, and a more integrated therapeutic intervention.
