The Passage of the Somatosensory Process: Reference to the Understanding of Concepts (Phase 1)

This project focuses on the intersection of cognitive science, neuroscience, and pedagogy, addressing the core problem: the brain-mind relationship. The purpose is to analyze how brain structures, specifically sensory, limbic areas, and Wernicke's area, influence the mind and the learning process. It aims to move beyond purely quantitative understanding by employing a mixed methodology combining qualitative analysis (hermeneutic and theoretical) with quantitative-statistical methods. The initial study will focus on describing the causal connection between sensory (parietal-occipital-temporal) and limbic structures via Wernicke's area, based on a review of scientific literature. Subsequently, a case study will be applied to university students to identify conceptual understanding mediated by this area. The final outcome is the development of optimized educational resources and teaching methodologies, designed with technical support to be engaging and effective, transforming causal knowledge of the brain into practical pedagogical applications.<br/><br/><b>Goal</b>: <br/>The main objective is to establish a causal relationship between the brain's sensory and limbic structures, mediated by Wernicke's area and neural connections, to objectively understand the learning process and consequently develop more pertinent educational resources and teaching methods.<br/><br/><b>Research lines</b>: <br/>Study of the mental processes of the brain
