So also transformations of maya give rise to various mental phases, functions and activities, while the real source of mental energy, Atman, is untouched and unchanged or not transformed but is essential for the existence of awareness as (human) consciousness and simultaneously for the awareness of activities of the mind and body as transformations (beings / becomings) of Atman and maya Thus mental energy pulse series reflected in Medha,(can be medulla oblongata or reticular formation?) termed as maya, are virtual (unreal-mithya), but are same in content, form and nature as the real mental-energy presence (Atman) just as reflected light energy is same as light energy from source in content, form and nature.

ET is probably caused by abnormal reticular formation or abnormal nuclear motion in the central nervous system.
Secondly, the state of neural arousal is communicated by two structures in the midbrain: the reticular formation via direct and indirect (thalamus) routes, and the monoaminergic nuclei, via the medial forebrain bundle.
