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 […]
