The study of nervous systems as N-dimensional organs, with neural connections, processes, and experiences extending across all accessible dimensions. This field proposes that what we call a "brain" is just the 3D slice of an N-dimensional neural network, with most of its activity happening in dimensions we can't measure. This explains why brain scans show only a fraction of neural activity (the rest is in other dimensions), why some memories seem to come from nowhere (they were stored in higher dimensions), and why phantom limb pain persists (the N-dimensional representation of the limb still exists, even if the 3D slice is gone). N-dimensional neuroscience has profound implications for treating brain disorders, most of which involve treating dimensions we can't access, which is frustrating for everyone involved.
*Example: "His N-dimensional neuroscience research suggested that memories aren't stored in the brain—they're stored in higher dimensions, and the brain is just a receiver. When his grandmother forgot his name, he theorized that her receiver was misaligned with the dimension where the memory was stored. His family said that was less helpful than just accepting that Grandma was 95 and forgetting things."*
