Neurophysics and the Pursuit of Cognitive Understanding

Steve Thomas

Neurophysics is an interdisciplinary field that merges the principles of physics with the complexities of neuroscience to investigate the behavior, structure, and dynamics of the nervous system. This article provides an overview of the fundamental concepts and applications of neurophysics, highlighting its role in understanding neural activity, network behavior, brain imaging techniques, and the challenges faced in deciphering the intricate nature of the brain. By fostering collaborations between physicists and neuroscientists, neurophysics offers unique insights into the mechanisms underlying cognition, perception, and consciousness, with the potential to reshape our understanding of the brain and its functions.
