brain computer theory

shared by Levy Rivers on 06 May 12 - No Cached
  • The computational theory of mind, in essence, says that your brain works like a computer. That is, it takes input from the outside world, then performs algorithms to produce output in the form of mental state or action. In other words, it claims that the brain is an information processor where your mind is “software” that runs on the “hardware” of the brain.
  • By contrast, a truly non-dualistic theory of mind has to state what is clearly obvious: your mind and your brain are identical. Now, this doesn’t necessarily mean that an artificial human brain is impossible – it’s just that programming such a thing would be much more akin to embedded systems programming rather than computer programming
  • For one thing, the brain itself isn’t structured like a Turing machine. It’s a parallel processing network of neural nodes – but not just any network.  It’s a plastic neural network that can in some ways be actively changed through influences by will or environment.

  • Cognitive dissonance is the ability of the mind to believe what it wants even in the face of opposing evidence. Confirmation bias is the ability of the mind to seek out evidence that conforms to its own theories and simply gloss over or completely ignore contradictory evidence.

  • Unlike their flashier electronic cousins, glia speak in chemical whispers. Learning their language has been tougher. As a result, glial cells were long seen as inert nerve cement: just so many packing peanuts whose raison d’être is to keep our neurons from jiggling when we jog.
  • Because the placement and relative strengths of the brain’s 100-trillion-plus synapses are so intimately associated with what defines us — learning, thinking, feeling, remembering and forgetting — in a strictly material sense one could say the soul resides in the synapses.

    One of the surprising things that I learned pretty quickly (as an IT professional I should know this and should have checked it beforehand) is that the Facebook login session is unencrypted, which means that any five year old can hack into a Facebook account by sniffing passwords on the network. Encrypting login sessions is such a basic security measure that it's scandalous that the default login page for Facebook does not use SSL (Secure Sockets Layer).

  • as structured data, thought networks may be used as inputs to software “agents” to automate much of the drudgery of our online experience
  • The word “thought” signifies a very elemental cognitive unit. We manipulate and compound these primitive structures to form ideas, arguments, and perspectives.
  • This is where thought turns to action. With our thoughts collected and organized, we can put them to work: our thoughts may be collated with content and expressed as documents; they might traverse the Web to find related information; they might interface with social networks to connect like-minded individuals. Organized within semantic networks, thoughts have the power to direct computers on our behalf.
