  1. Brain Functional Systems Human Mind As A Software System - Daniel Marko, IBM ISC Slovakia January 2008

  2. Contents • Cognitive science topics • Cognitive process • Perceptions principles • Primary data analysis • Cerebral instruction set • Instincts as a SW • Human cognitive system • Cognitive science projects in the world • Special states of consciousness • Possible ways of development

  3. Cognitive Science Questions • Cognitive process • Neuron networks • Artificial intelligence • Artificial life • Expert systems - But also: • How are memories stored in the brain? • Could software feel?? • How important is understanding brain HW? • Is it possible to create artificial personality??? • What happens if this will succeeds????.... ...cognitive science in highly inter-disciplinary research in area of psychology, neuro-science, linguistics, philosophy, computer science and AI, anthropology and biology... (Wikipedia)

  4. Subsymbolic To Symbolic Data

  5. Perception - Subsymbolic Process Sub-symbolic Data flows from the receptors

  6. Sub-symbolic + Symbolic Data Both Symbolic + Sub-symbolic data are processed during cognitive process!

  7. Sub-symbolic Data Symbolic Data The „Symbols“ Are Interpreted from Raw Sub-symbolic Data

  8. Shapes Symbolical Decomposition ?

  9. Symbol Synthesis

  10. Primary Analysis - Interpretation

  11. „Coding Language of Mind“ +

  12. SOAR Agent „Identifiers And Constants“„States and Super-states“ http://sitemaker.umich.edu/soar

  13. „What Makes Sense“ Try to remember: • "axcmasg h64sfg4 5fgcvfyfsd g546e„ • "equalizer orange snail potato seven„ • „Cry„ • „Today was a beautiful day.„ • „I love you.„ What is the „emotional value„ behind perception??

  14. Instincts – Triggers Of Importance Only Instinct (inherited, hard coded) condition makes personality to react primarily. Instincts are the only one source of psychological dynamic.

  15. PrimaryAnalysis Association Perception Receptory Receptory World SavingMemory Reaction Instinct „ON“ State „Attention“ „Unwanted Feeling“ Triggering Instinctive Reaction

  16. Instincts – Source Of Personality Dynamic • Only instincts decides primarily: • What is „wrong“ or „good“ • What is „important“ for us • What we will remember (System „sub-consciousness“) • Education – acquired additional behavior matrix • Inherited from the authority, parent (System „super-ego“/conscience ethics)

  17. „Baby Program“ From DNA • Bacterial parazit „Nanoarchaeum Equitans“: • 522 genes = 40kB of information (Apollo navigation system) • Human genome, "The Make-Human Program": • 35.000 genes /3bil. of ACTG basis =750 MB (1 CD ROM disc) Whole human DNA has less data then typical Windows XP installation!!

  18. „Baby Program“ – The Human The difference between human genome and genome of the chimpanzee is just 5% Δ 30 MB

  19. Instinct Learns New-born baby instinct: • Conditions (interpreted by primary analyzer – elementary identification of CIS values): • „Low glycemic level – medium value„ - triggering instinct • Identification (generated by instinct – elementary identifier CIS) state „Medium Hunger„ • Reaction (programmed in instinct)„Cry„ • Combined with all accompanying circumstances creates an cognitive association: • Association (based just on all CIS identifier: triggering data, identification, reaction) • „When I am hungry and start crying...„ • New complex condition – mother feeds child • "... A food will come and hunger will disappear.„ • Useful context – learned experience „How to feed"

  21. Memory Track In Brain - Example My own, individual, subjective association - de-composition of the expression „Mammal" to symbols – CIS values • LevelMammal>Animal40+Cucať20+"Z"20+Matka20+Mlieko15+Mier15+Láska15+Mláďa25 • Animal> Group [animal shapes]20+[animal lines ]20+[animal movement]5+[animal surface]40+[animal behaviour]5 • Suck> [physical perception on skin]5+[liquid]5+[sound]40„from" > [outwards movement]40 • Mother > [Mother]40Milk > [Liquid]15+[White]40+[Food]10+[Milk taste]10+[soft surface]30 • Peace > world15+people30+[love]15 • Love > woman30+peace40 • Youngling > [small animal]40+puppy20 All experience and memory track can be decomposed and identified by association of symbolic CIS + sub-symbolic data

  22. ACT-R – Simulation Framework By setting-up ACT-R with the complete „Baby Program“ parameters, declarations and contentwe could probably achieve incredibly true simulation of human personality. http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/about/

  23. Special States Of Consciousness • Imagination and creativity • Dreaming • Lucid dreaming • Hypnosis • Shamanic trans • Meditation • Enlightenment • Spiritual experience • Psychedelic states X3? X100? +500GB? Simulations based on different parameters could explain what really happens during special states of consciousness

  24. Personality Systems Knowledge – Possible Application • Memory track identification directly in brain structure • Simulation and research of mental processes • Understanding of personality dynamic (e.g. motivation and causes of criminal acts) • Possible correction of unwanted states of mind • Tuning-up the mental skills (extreme IQ, operational speed of decisions in military, memory capacity, unknown capabilities, brain co-processors) • Understanding of mental activity of animals Issue to be solved: Human hardware connectivity

  25. Philosophy And Spiritual Dimension – Responsible Science • Are we mature enough to live with artificial being? • Could we „terminate“ such being? • Will human-like being also receive human rights? • How it influence the world? • What if they will be smarter, faster,...better? • Could we survive as a slaves or pets There is no doubt it will happen, the only question is WHEN.
