History

The laboratory of higher nervous activity of a person was organized at the Institute in 1987. Its task was defined as studying the physiological foundations of consciousness. From 1987 to 2012, the laboratory was headed by prof. A.M. Ivanitsky, who had developed the theory of information synthesis shortly before. The theory was based on a study of the physiological processes underlying sensations. Following this theory, psychic (subjectively experienced) phenomena arise as a result of the return of excitation to areas of initial projections, comparison, and synthesis in the cortex of new information with previous extracted from memory and comes from centers of motivation.
