Abstract

A new theory of motivations, emotions and attention is suggested, considering them as functions of sensory systems. The theory connects neurophysiological mechanisms of mental phenomena with the change of metabolic and functional state of perceptive neurons, which is reflected in the degree of polarization of a cell membrane.
