This project is an analysis on the system complexities of neurophysiological and cognitive structures associated with conscious states. A comparison of neurotypical and neuro-divergent systems is presented to demonstrate the underlying complexities that sustain neural equilibrium despite irregular or chaotic neural/coritcal patterns. The aim of this project is to demonstrate the role of consciousness as an element of complexity that maintains neural and coritical functioning.
