Foundations of Intelligence
What is intelligence? Here are several foundational concepts that help define the descriptive rules of intelligence, not just of the human mind, but in any…
Raising Robots in AI-Kindergarten
How insights from the way the brain learns can be used to design adaptive learning mechanisms for AI that include both phylogenetic and ontogenetic aspects….
How Does the Brain Deal With Novelty?
Current theories of connectionism have a hard time explaining how the brain deals with novel situations. An alternative approach of fast hierarchical adaptations could solve…
From Neurons to Concepts
How does the brain store concepts and activate them in a contextual manner? AI ignores concepts, connectionist models of the brain ignore concepts. What can…
How are Concepts Created in the Brain?
A concept is a general notion or construct of something that doesn’t necessarily need all the pieces exactly and depends on context. How does the…
Adaptive Mechanisms and Afterimages
Afterimages are color inverted perceptual images that persist after fixating on an image for a long period of time. The perceptual mechanisms of afterimages suggest…
A New Metric of Waveform Complexity in EEG Analysis
It is yet unclear which features of the EEG signal are the most informative about brain states and outcomes. A new complexity measure with different…
Measuring a Thought
We all intuitively recognize a thought when we have one but a thought is hard to describe as measurable or observable factors. We all have…
Explaining Flexible Information Routing in the Brain
We constantly change our behavior between things like driving a car to chopping an onion. How does the brain switch quickly between different sensory-motor pathways…
