Towards a kinetic theory of some global brain activities.
In the context of the mathematical theories describing the space-time propagation of electric activity in neural systems of the brain, the "kinetic" approach of the author is reviewed. The last developments of this approach seem able to describe, on neural bases, some psychological phenomena such as attention and its effects on memory.
