From this article.
"He and his colleagues of the Blue Brain Project
at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL) have
been using algebraic topology, a field of mathematics used to
characterise higher-dimensional shapes, to explore the workings of the
brain. What they have found beggars belief. As our brains think, learn and
remember, they create elaborate but ephemeral structures in at least
seven mathematical dimensions, and possibly many more. What’s more,
these transient structures, which appear and disappear like sandcastles
on a beach, could help us understand how the brain creates our thoughts
and feelings. They might even unravel the greatest mystery of them all:
consciousness."
