... Hi, Eray. That is the same study that Ray Gardner mentioned a few days ago, and for which Joe Legris provided some background information. The actual study...
Interesting. The counterintuitive thing is, the right PFC seems to be better connected than the left, I'd think it's the other way around. Maybe the number of...
A human child is born with instinctive, innate, neuromuscular responses to both internal and external stimulus. One obvious example of neuromuscular response...
... When we "know" something it means we have declarative knowledge, meaning that it can be spoken about, and utilized in decision making. It means for any...
It's not a question of knowing, but of feeling. This is why the thumb or pacifier can often substitute for the nipple. The human brain simply allows sensory...
... Sure, I can agree as far as you go. But this "highest value" must be associated with a given intent. Consider an environment which evolves (unfolds)...
I'm considering what kind of frame I should buy. I already have the just the right place on the wall picked out. ;o) 1. Any given program, once deployed, is...
Our human genome promoted brain does develop a personal representational virtual reality or model of the perceived situation, both sensor and self context. To...
... Hi Fred: It seems to me that "intelligence" (as in an intelligent system) must have input, output, processing, and memory. That is, input from the ...
... I would say the input is the raw data out of which we construct an "environment". Every system would have its own version of the environment. JC...
... I agree. The environment is computed from "input/output" correlated data from lots of measurements, from lots of sensors, of many different types. No two...
I chose this system because it's interesting (to me), non-trivial, yet quite understandable. I hope I made this message these things as well. The centrifugal...
Humans operate on the basis of their self and context perceptions, mediated by a virtual reality representation. That representation includes magical folk lore...
... This seems rather confusing to me because you seem to be making a statement about how things are in the first sentence. The statement tone implies that...
... This "form of magic" is exactly the same for every kind of assumption, axiom, or logical primitive! Why/how is the existence of "qualia" any more magical...
... Actually, this reminds me very much of a discussion Peter Jones and I had a long time ago. Basically, if I recall correctly, PJ maintained the position...
... assumption, ... straight ... It isn't, it's just that the topic is "intelligence", and qualia seem common in human intelligence. The only idea of any...
... intelligence. ... The 'magic' of thought is the ability to solve a problem that wasn't solvable before, to understand something that wasn't understandable ...
There is no magic / expansion of brain's functionality. What is the brain's exact functionality is unknown yet, but problems are eventually solved because...
If you knew everything then then you would know everything. This is not science! You don't know everything, and you never will. Why is this reasonable...
... Jim Bromer: Wrote ... Within the topic of intelligence, the term "magic" represents a state of ignorance or lack of knowledge. If we substitute the term...
... If I knew everything then there would be reason for me to prove anything because there would be no one for me to prove it to other than myself (which would...
(fwiw... and the usual apologies in advance if the following is wholly unoriginal) Instead of a normal causal interface between mind and body (or, more ...
... brain's exact functionality is unknown yet, but problems are eventually solved because there are a) more data accumulated over time, and b) luck dictates...
... The truth of any statement is only as certain as the assumptions on which they are built. If the assumptions themselves are uncertain there is no truth at...
