High-level cognition during story listening is reflected in high-order dynamic correlations in neural activity patterns

Fractal dimension of brain scans increases when creating meaning! What amazing research. Have my own thinking on this. So fractals are created when you have systems that work upon themselves and that implies fixed-points too. Fractals build up around fixed points. Now totally crazy speculation but what is thinking other than running internal models against themselves. And the holy grail of thinking is the concept of Self where we try to process ourselves. And at its limit the self-existing self independent of outside input "I think therefore I am." I've reckoned for a while that Self might represent the fixed point of thinking, perfectly introverted brain processing a la Descartes. Get volunteers to think Descartes should get the highest order fractals... altho its also meaningless! And what is the practice of meditation other than undoing all this. Fractal dimension of people in jhana next please.
