If our brain is the most complex object in the Universe, can we extrapolate Einstein's theories to its functioning?

It is the incredible proposal of the doctor, physicist and neuroscientist Denis le Bihan which takes us from the confines of the cosmos to the depths of the brain to our cerebral space-time and necessarily relative..

Come to our cerebral space-time for an incredible journey to the confines of the brain and the cosmos!

By daring an unprecedented parallel between these two universes: if the brain is one of the most complex objects in the Universe, could we not extrapolate Einstein's work on relativity and the cosmological constant of the Universe? to the very functioning of our brain?

This is the brilliant and revolutionary hypothesis of the doctor and physicist

Denis Le Bihan

, pioneer of cerebral neuro-imaging and founder of Neurospin, in his new work, enigmatically titled:

Einstein's error on the borders of the brain and the cosmos .

.. in which he multiplies the back and forth between what contemporary cosmology teaches us about the Universe and what cerebral imaging reveals to us about our brain....

Along with

 Denis Le Bihan 

, physician and physicist, he is a researcher recognized worldwide for his work on the development of highly innovative methods of biomedical imaging, particularly in MRI. He founded and directs

NeuroSpin

, a CEA infrastructure dedicated to brain imaging by very high field MRI which opened in 2007. For her new book published by Odile Jacob
