The first person who can *really* answer that question will be guaranteed a 
Nobel prize for Physiology & Medicine!

No doubt you can back up all this talk of electrics with sound physiological 
measurements - EEG recordings, that sort of thing. Perhaps some of this is 
published :)

How do you _see_ these electrical processes?

Frankly, I'm doubtful....
