A linear model for electrocortical waves and their control by the lateral hypothalamus is proposed. It is argued that such a linear model is not in contradiction to non-linearity of neural elements on the microscopic scale. Telencephalic structures are treated as a mass of linked oscillators generating activity with a number of resonant modes. The lateral hypothalamus is regarded as controlling damping of activity in the telencephalic mass, and therefore exerting a specific parametric control over all signal processing in the cortical networks. An initial test is proposed to assess the constancy of telencephalic natural frequencies, with variation in lateral hypothalamic damping.
提出了一种用于皮层电波及其受下丘脑外侧控制的线性模型。有人认为，这样的线性模型与微观尺度上神经元的非线性并不矛盾。端脑结构被视为大量相互连接的振荡器，它们产生具有多种共振模式的活动。下丘脑外侧被认为控制着端脑团块中活动的阻尼，因此对皮层网络中的所有信号处理施加特定的参数控制。提出了一项初步测试，以评估端脑固有频率在外侧下丘脑阻尼变化时的稳定性。
