Editorial: New trends in neurogeometrical approaches to the brain and mind problem.

Résumé

Neurogeometry is an emerging field at the interface between mathematics, psychophysics and neurosciences. It seeks at modeling theoretically and experimentally the process of integration of geometrical features in the visual cortex. This special issue of the Journal of Physiology Paris reflects this interdisciplinary nature, and presents groundbreaking papers from leaders in the fields of mathematical modeling, psychophysics and neurosciences. This issue is the outcome of the Ladislav Tauc workshop "From Mathematical Image Analysis to Neurogeometry of the Brain" that was organized in December 2010 by the CNRS GdR "Mathematics of Perceptual and Cognitive Systems" (MSPC) and UNIC laboratory. In nearly ten years, there have been several major advances in this field, which are covered by this special issue. This issue on "Mathematics and Neurogeometry" is in fact the follow-up of a previous issue published by JPP on the field of "Neurogeometry and Visual Perception" in March-May 2003 (Volume 97, Issues 2-3) with Jean Petitot and Jean Lorenceau as guest-Editors. The aim of these interdisciplinary issues is to illustrate successful attempts in a theoretical field, such as Geometry, to take advantage of the complexity of brain organization and to open a new explanatory referential. We hope to succeed in showing the efficiency of geometrical tools and concepts in unraveling structural aspects of thought and brain association processes from the sole reading of the relational architecture inside the ''black box''.
