Abstract

In this article, we provide a book review on Georg Northoff’s “Neurowaves: Exploring the Dynamic Nature of Time in the Brain.” It is a groundbreaking exploration of the intricate relationship between the brain and time. Drawing on spatiotemporal neuroscience, philosophy, psychology, and contemporary physics, Northoff metaphorizes time as waves, unraveling the complex interplay between duration and moments in time. The book extends these time waves to elucidate state transitions in brain and mind dynamics, emphasizing the holistic connection between the brain, environment, and mindfulness. Northoff argues that understanding how the brain operates in its environment is essential for comprehending the impact of brain-world-time relationships on the mind. Notably, Northoff underscores the significance of the brain’s internal sense of time in shaping psychological traits, emphasizing the pivotal role of spontaneous brain activity in bridging brain functions and the mind
