The BM-Science researchers have recently published the paper "Natural world physical, brain operational, and mind phenomenal space-time" in the journal "Physics of Life Reviews" - an essay covering fifteen years of research in the fields.

Concepts of space and time are widely developed in physics. However, there is a considerable lack of biologically plausible theoretical frameworks that can demonstrate how space and time dimensions are implemented in the activity of the most complex life-system — the brain with a mind.

Critical analysis of research on the space–time organization of the brain's activity pointed to the existence of so-called operational space–time in the brain. At the same time, subjective (phenomenal) mental experience has also definitive spatial and temporal properties similar to many physical phenomena. The essay offers hypothesis that via the brain operational space–time the mind subjective space–time is connected to otherwise distant physical space–time reality.
