Overview
- CODAM is the first model of consciousness to be supported by detailed scientific experimental data from the human brain
- CODAM provides an approach to the evolution of human consciousness over the eons, thereby also providing a unique understanding of possible animal consciousnesses as evolved on the way to the human variety
- CODAM provides a framework in which to understand the whole area of human meditation experiences, including pure consciousness and more complete meditative states
- CODAM provides an understanding of a range of mental diseases, especially the key one of schizophrenia (but also including Alzheimer’s disease and aspects of autism)
- The ultimate application of CODAM is to understand, from the unique viewpoint of the brain basis for human consciousness, humans in society, this is given in terms of their emotional and intellectual needs by a developing CODAM-based brain
