Comments on the article “Dialogical structure of the brain and the ternary system of the mind: the neurosemiotics of Yuri Lotman”

Marco Sanna, the author of the article, “Dialogical Structure of the Brain and the Ternary System of the Mind: The Neurosemiotics  of Yuri Lotman”, written in the format of a popular science essay, reflects on the complex structure of the  human mind’s information systems as they manifest in everyday life, the origins of “semiotic creativity”, and the mechanisms  involved in creating abstract symbols and meanings [1]. The author alerts us to the importance of synchronizing semiotics with  the neurosciences and to the usefulness of the Yuri Mikhailovich Lotman model. He invites further discussion amongst experts  involved in integrative neuroscience, including psychiatrists, medical psychologists, neurolinguists, evolutionary psychologists, anthropologists, and cultural scientists. The essay can be considered an introduction to the problem. The correct structuring of  the context of the article allowed us to highlight a number of promising ideas from Yu. Lotman and to consider the expediency  of applying some provisions of his theory in modern research. With this comment, I would like to support the initiative to revive  interest in the research of this world-renowned scholar and to consider the idea of a semiotic space and the methods of Lotman in the context of the development of interdisciplinary neurocognitive research.
