The aim of this work is to study the phenomenal organization of shape and color in vision and art in terms of microgenesis of the object perception and creation. The idea of "microgenesis" is that the object perception and creation takes time to develop. Our hypothesis is that the roles of shape and color are extracted in sequential order and in the same order these roles are also used by artis...

The theory of microgenesis, as described by Jason Brown and others, involves the hierarchical elaboration of the self and object world from a deep core of self, from unconsciousness to consciousnesss, through a simultaneous interval of time that continuously reiterates the development of the individual and the evolution of the organism. The core features of microgenesis place demands on our vie...

This paper begins with a brief survey of the microgenetic process thought of Jason Brown as it has developed from its neuropsychological inception to his more recent neurophilosophy. We then survey some of the arguments and systems of thought that have been put forth since the time of Plato, as they come to bear on the theory of microgenesis and the microgeny of values. Idealism comports surpri...

This publication is composed of three interviews conducted with Jason W. Brown a few years ago. The first is concerned with early influences that shaped his development of a theory of “microgenesis”. The second focuses on evolutionary principles apparent in brain development and mental processes. In the third interview, Brown discusses the internal processual structure of the “mind/brain state”...

The CNS is endogenously and concurrently active, with primary functional relations being those of oscillatory processes that modulate each other in multifarious ways. One crucial aspect of these processes is that of a kind of set-up of dynamic spaces that regulate other processes within those spaces. Such ‘microgenesis’ of dynamic spaces occurs locally in cortex within differentiations of large...
