How does your mind work? How does your brain give rise to your mind? These are questions that all of us have wondered about at some point in our lives, if only because everything that we know is experienced in our minds. They are also very hard questions to answer. After all, how can a mind understand itself? How can you understand something as complex as the tool that is being used to understand it? This book provides an introductory and self-contained description of some of the exciting answers to these questions that modern theories of mind and brain have recently proposed. Stephen Grossberg is broadly acknowledged to be the most important pioneer and current research leader who has, for the past 50 years, modelled how brains give rise to minds, notably how neural circuits in multiple brain regions interact together to generate psychological functions. This research has led to a unified understanding of how, where, and why our brains can consciously see, hear, feel, and know about the world, and effectively plan and act within it. The work embodies revolutionary Principia of Mind that clarify how autonomous adaptive intelligence is achieved. It provides mechanistic explanations of multiple mental disorders, including symptoms of Alzheimer's disease, autism, amnesia, and sleep disorders; biological bases of morality and religion, including why our brains are biased towards the good so that values are not purely relative; perplexing aspects of the human condition, including why many decisions are irrational and self-defeating despite evolution's selection of adaptive behaviors; and solutions to large-scale problems in machine learning, technology, and Artificial Intelligence that provide a blueprint for autonomously intelligent algorithms and robots. Because brains embody a universal developmental code, unifying insights also emerge about shared laws that are found in all living cellular tissues, from the most primitive to the most advanced, notably how the laws governing networks of interacting cells support developmental and learning processes in all species. The fundamental brain design principles of complementarity, uncertainty, and resonance that Grossberg has discovered also reflect laws of the physical world with which our brains ceaselessly interact, and which enable our brains to incrementally learn to understand those laws, thereby enabling humans to understand the world scientifically. Accessibly written, and lavishly illustrated, Conscious Mind/Resonant Brain is the magnum opus of one of the most influential scientists of the past 50 years, and will appeal to a broad readership across the sciences and humanities.
Here we try to define artificial intelligence (AI) and explain why we think it deserves more attention than other worthy research topics; obviously, this is a prerequisite to doing any kind of study in this area. We humans take great pride in our intelligence; in fact, we call ourselves Homo sapiens, which means "man the wise." Human cognition has long baffled scientists, who have sought to explain how a little particle of stuff like us can see, understand, predict, and control an enormous and complex cosmos. Beyond that, the field of artificial intelligence (AI) aims to do more than just understand; it aims to build intelligent objects. One of the newest innovations in engineering and science is AI. The name wasn't even thought of until 1956, although development started in earnest almost immediately after WWII ended. Science professionals from several disciplines often mention artificial intelligence (AI) as the "field I would most like to be in" next to molecular biology. If you're a physics student, you could think that all the great thinkers like Galileo, Newton, Einstein, and others have thought of everything. Conversely, AI is still on the market for a handful of brilliant minds to join their team full-time. At now, AI encompasses a wide variety of subfields, from the broad (perception and learning) to the narrow (proving mathematical theorems, writing poetry, operating a car on a congested street, and disease detection, among many others). These are but a few of the many activities that might be categorised as AI-related. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a field that really covers all intellectual pursuits; it is relevant to everyone
