  ARTE+ PENSAMIENTO
Pribram became convinced because of the failure of standard theories of the brain to explain various unsolved neurophysiological puzzles.
Pribram now believes memories are encoded not in neurons, or small groupings of neurons, but in patterns of nerve impulses that crisscross the entire brain in the same way that patterns of laser light interference crisscross the entire area of a piece of film containing a holographic image.
Pribram believes it is not only further evidence that the brain is a kind of hologram, but suggests that the brain is actually a sort of lens, a translating device that takes the cascade of frequencies we receive through our senses and converts them into the familiar reality of our inner perceptions.

 The Holographic Universe - Crystalinks
Pribram was drawn to the holographic model by the puzzle of how and where memories are stored in the brain.
In a series of landmark experiments in the 1920s, brain scientist Karl Lashley found that no matter what portion of a rat's brain he removed he was unable to eradicate its memory of how to perform complex tasks it had learned prior to surgery.

 HEALTHY LIVING NEWS - Interview with Karl H. Pribram
Pribram is probably one of the most influential scholars alive today in probing the mysteries of the mind-brain relationship.
Pribram said, “My claim is that the basis function from which both matter and mind are “formed“ is flux (measured as spectral density) that provides the ontological roots from which conscious experiences regarding matter as well as mind become actualized in spacetime.
Pribram believes that if psychology is to understand the conditions producing the world of appearances, it must look to the thinking of physicists like Bohm.

 The Science Behind SyberVision's Modeling Technology: The Holographic Brain
Pribram was first to show that the system was far more complex in its role, and that visceral as well as olfactory information was processed by these structures.
A leading theorist in the movement is Karl Pribram, a 59 year old neurosurgeon psychologist whose research on the brain at Stanford University sometimes makes him as comfortable with the thinking of mystics as with the concepts of behaviorists, among whom he once counted himself.
Pribram: Once we saw where to look, it became clear that one test that could be readily made was whether the behavior of single cells in, for instance, the visual system, would obey the mathematical laws that comprise a hologram.

Pribram then says that the brain operates as a "dissipative structure" where the brain continually self-organizes to minimize this uncertainty.
Karl Pribram's holonomic brain theory weaves several concepts together in forming the holonomic brain theory.
As such, Karl Pribram is not referenced in many of the major neuro physiology textbooks (such as Principles of neural science by Kandel, Schwartz, and Jessell, 1991).

According to Pribram and Bohm, "future orientation" is the essence of cognitive function, which they have attempted to define through use of the Fourier theorem and quantum mechanical formulae.
Pribram distinguishes between propagative nerve impulses on the one hand, and slow potentials (hyperpolarizations, steep polarizations) that are essentially static.
Pribram has written, "What the data suggest is that there exists in the cortex, a multidimensional holographic-like process serving as an attractor or set point toward which muscular contractions operate to achieve a specified environmental result.

PRIBRAM: And very many paradoxes -- that those paradoxes also apply at the psychophysical level and at the neuronal level, and therefore we have to face the same sets of problems.
PRIBRAM: Well, yes, and you can talk about it in terms of waves, or you can talk about it in terms of mathematical matrices which have vectors in them, and so on.

Psychologist Karl Pribram advanced a holographic model of perception and memory called holonomic brain theory.
Although Pribram does not directly appeal to a quantum mechanical process he acknowledged that his theory is consistent with the existence of consequential quantum mechanisms.
Pribram suggested that interactions in the form of waves within dendritic microprocesses are the basis of the perceptual image.

Pribram: We make images of objects, but at another level of analysis, quantum physics tells us that the universe is composed of wave forms that interact to form particles or vice versa.
Pribram: While we don't know what the mechanisms for a leap to the paranormal might be, for the first time, we have to suspend clue disbelief in such phenomena because there is now a scientific base that allows understanding.
According to Karl Pribram, the hologram provides us with the long sought model of how sensory input is distributed in the brain, then stored as memory, and later reconstructed.

Pribram's contribution to neuropsychology is about as important to new paradigm thought as any researcher's.
In the 1960's and 1970's, Pribram created a new model of the mind which suggested that mental states are distributed in an interference pattern, not in localized parts of the brain—the
For some, Pribram's model of the brain is evidence that the assumptions of esoteric thinkers were indeed correct—that "parts" of reality contain the "whole" of reality.

 Karl H. Pribram - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Karl H. Pribram (born February 25, 1919 in Vienna, Austria) is a research professor of Psychology and Cognitive Science at Georgetown University, Washington DC.
Pribram's holonomic model, developed in collaboration with quantum physicist David Bohm, theorizes that memory/information is stored not in cells, but rather in wave interference patterns.
Pribram believes the brain operates according to the same quantum mathematical principles as a hologram.

The 1960s Again: Stanford neurophysiologist Karl Pribram learns of the structure of holograms and combines it with Karl Lashley's ideas to conclude that memory is the result of nerve impulses ricocheting throughout the brain much in the way laser beams crisscross film with their interference patterns
Similarly, psychokinesis (the ability of the mind to move a distant object without touching it) also becomes less mysterious, for in an infinitely interconnected universe the individual and the object being moved are already one.
Whether Bohm and Pribram's holographic paradigm becomes accepted in science or dies an ignoble death remains to be seen, but it is safe to say that it has already had an influence on the thinking of many scientists.

 Enchanted Mind - Creative Memory
Karl Pribram hunted for years for the particular engrams or physical spaces in the brain where memories are housed.
Working with Karl Lashley they discovered working with rats that no matter how much of the rat’s brain was removed the animal could still perform a variety of tasks.
Pribram, along with Rupert Sheldrake tapped into the understanding that though the brain is the hardware necessary for processing consciousness that manifests as mind, this elusive mind can exist in a non-local presence around the human body.

Sigmund Freud's contribution (see, for instance Pribram and Gill,1976; and Pribram 2003; 2004) was to attempt a technique by which we could access these unconscious processes and bring them into our conscious experience so that we could share them and do something about them.
Flux, (or holoflux, Hiley,1996) is here defined (see Pribram and Bradley,1998) as representing change, measured as energy (the amount of actual or potential work involved in altering structural patterns) and inertia, (measured as moment, the rotational momentum of mass).
Mathematically this is described as linear covariation among sensory inputs (by both Llinas and Pribram) and nonlinear contravariation among motor outputs (by Llinas mathematically and by Pribram neurologically).
