Creierul, O Enigma Descifrata
"Creierul, O Enigma Descifrata" by Dorin Teodor Moisa is a scientific publication written in the early 21st century. The book introduces the Modeling Devices Theory (MDT), which presents a new symbolic model to explain the basic hardware functions of the brain, challenging existing theories and advocating for a logical structure to define terms related to brain science. Moisa aims to revolutionize the understanding of brain functions in both humans and animals, proposing that the brain should be viewed as a device that processes information. The opening of this work lays the groundwork for the author's scientific argument by detailing the premise of MDT, asserting its necessity in rewriting existing definitions in brain sciences, including psychology and psychiatry. It emphasizes the importance of precise definitions generated by logical and mathematical processes, suggesting that this model could potentially lead to innovative approaches in understanding consciousness and cognitive functions. The text includes guidance indicating that the theory is best suited for individuals aged 12 to 20, as well as those already working in the field of positive sciences, setting a tone that combines academic rigor with accessible explanations for younger or novice readers in scientific disciplines.
A. (Angelo) Mosso
Fear
"Fear" by Angelo Mosso is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the physiological underpinnings of fear and its effects on the human body, exploring the interplay between emotions and bodily responses, particularly focusing on the brain's functions. The opening of the book introduces a personal anecdote, describing the author's experience of fear during his first public lecture. Mosso vividly recounts the turmoil he faced before, during, and after his presentation, including the physical symptoms such as rapid heartbeat and breathlessness, highlighting how anxiety can disrupt cognitive processes. This narrative sets the stage for the book's exploration of how fear influences human physiology, as he intends to examine various emotional disturbances and their associated bodily reactions, promising a scientific analysis of fear’s manifestations and implications.

The Brain, A Decoded Enigma
"The Brain, A Decoded Enigma" by Dorin Teodor Moisa is a scientific publication written in the early 21st century. The book presents a new theory called Modeling Devices Theory (MDT), which aims to offer a comprehensive understanding of the hardware functions of the brain, both human and animal. It challenges existing paradigms in neuroscience and psychology, proposing a symbolic model for brain function that relies on mathematical logic and precise definitions rather than descriptive terms. At the start of the book, Moisa introduces his original theory, outlining the fundamental concepts and terminology that underpin it. He details how the brain processes information through various models—image and symbolic models—and discusses their roles in understanding external reality and predicting outcomes through simulations. He emphasizes the need for stability in these models for effective functioning, while also noting the deficiencies inherent in the human design. The opening lays a foundation for exploring complex topics like knowledge, consciousness, and behavioral responses, ultimately setting the stage for a deeper examination of the human brain's capabilities and limitations.
