ABSTRACT:
A mental functions complexity model is provided that is suitable for demonstrating, in three-dimensional perspective, the interrelationships of the various mental functions performed by the human brain. The model preferably includes an opaque, upturned, hemispherical base fixedly supported by a saddle, a circular, rotatable, translucent, horizontal disc panel on top of and covering the base, a pair of intersecting, semi-circular, translucent, upright discs mounted in perpendicular relationship to one another above the horizontal disc and being rotatable independently of the horizontal panel, a central translucent light-diffusing hemispherical member centrally located in relation to the horizontal and upright discs, a plurality of independently variable light sources located within the base and below the horizontal disc, and motor drives located within the base for rotating the horizontal and vertical discs. The light sources within the base are advantageously focused towards the central, hemispherical member, and are independently controllable for varying light intensity, hue and value. In operation, the light and motor drives are operated in a predetermined sequence to demonstrate in tangible, three-dimensional form, the interrelationships of the human brain's abstract, functional characteristics.
