Functional MRI needs to be improved upon further. Currently an action need be repeated roughly ten times before a hazy image of the resulting high activity areas of the brain can be seen.

If or maybe I should say, when we reach the point where functional MRI gives close to perfect clarity from one action sequence, our understanding of "consiousness" may suddenly improve dramatically.

I think when this point is reached, much that currently isn't showing up at all on brain scans will show up.

We may see very complicated and unique "tree-like" structures encompassing the entire brain for every action.

The field theory is interesting when it is used to examine the focus of consciousness. When I say focus I am implying, that which is front and center in the mind.

I think we can hardly doubt that the summation of external sensory information brought to us by the senses and observed in the whole of consciousness is controllable by shifting our center of attention. As an example we can change our attention from the sound, to the smell, to the touch, to flooding the sight. It seems we have access to a sensory equalizer.

Whether it is an electromagnetic theory of summing parts or some other wave theory we still have to examine the parts and the whole and why the whole provided for us is greater than the sum of the extant parts. Oh, and what are these parts and how does the whole encompass the parts.
