• Cognitive science topics• Cognitive process• Perceptions principles• Primary data analysis• Cerebral instruction set• Instincts as a SW• Human cognitive system• Cognitive science projects in the world• Special states of consciousness• Possible ways of development
Cognitive Science Questions• Cognitive process• Neuron networks• Artificial intelligence• Artificial life• Expert systems
- But also:• How are memories stored in the
brain?• Could software feel??• How important is understanding brain
HW?• Is it possible to create artificial
personality???• What happens if this will
succeeds????....
...cognitive science in highly inter-disciplinary research in area of psychology, neuro-science, linguistics, philosophy, computer science
and AI, anthropology and biology... (Wikipedia)
Subsymbolic To Symbolic Data
Perception - Subsymbolic Process
Sub-symbolic Data flows from the receptors
Sub-symbolic + Symbolic Data
Both Symbolic + Sub-symbolic data are processed during cognitive process!
The „Symbols“Are Interpreted from Raw Sub-symbolic Data

„Coding Language of Mind“
Example of basic constants of „Brain Instruction Set"
Symbolic Data from PDA Analyzers:• Vision• Hearing• Smell• Taste• Touch• Internal body receptors
Examples:• „brown", • „crispy„• „smell of fresh bread„• „taste of bread„• „hot„• „low glycemical blood level"
Output values from instincts
Examples:• „delight„• „hunger„• „fall„• „love„• „food"

„What Makes Sense“
Try to remember:
1. "axcmasg h64sfg4 5fgcvfyfsd g546e„2. "equalizer orange snail potato seven„3. „Cry„4. „Today was a beautiful day.„5. „I love you.„
What is the „emotional value„ behind perception??
Instincts – Triggers Of Importance
Only Instinct (inherited, hard coded) condition makes personality to react primarily. Instincts are the only one source of psychological dynamic.

Instincts – Source Of Personality Dynamic
• Only instincts decides primarily:– What is „wrong“ or „good“
• What is „important“ for us– What we will remember
(System „sub-consciousness“)
• Education – acquired additional behavior matrix
– Inherited from the authority, parent(System „super-ego“/conscience ethics)
„Baby Program“ From DNA
• Bacterial parazit „Nanoarchaeum Equitans“:– 522 genes = 40kB of information (Apollo
navigation system)
• Human genome, "The Make-Human Program":– 35.000 genes /3bil. of ACTG basis =750 MB (1 CD ROM disc)
Whole human DNA has less data then typical Windows XP

„Baby Program“ – The Human
The difference between human genome and genome of the chimpanzee is just
5%
Δ 30 MB
Instinct Learns
New-born baby instinct: • Conditions (interpreted by primary analyzer –
elementary identification of CIS values):1. „Low glycemic level – medium value„ - triggering instinct2. Identification (generated by instinct – elementary identifier CIS)
state „Medium Hunger„ 3. Reaction (programmed in instinct) „Cry„4. Combined with all accompanying circumstances creates an
cognitive association:
• Association (based just on all CIS identifier: triggering data, identification, reaction)– „When I am hungry and start crying...„– New complex condition – mother feeds child– "... A food will come and hunger will disappear.„– Useful context – learned experience „How to feed"

Memory Track In Brain - ExampleMy own, individual, subjective association - de-composition of the expression „Mammal" to symbols – CIS
values

All experience and memory track can be decomposed and identified by association of symbolic CIS + sub-symbolic data
ACT-R – Simulation Framework
http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/about/
By setting-up ACT-R with the complete „Baby Program“ parameters, declarations and content we could probably achieve incredibly true simulation of human personality.
Special States Of Consciousness
• Imagination and creativity• Dreaming• Lucid dreaming• Hypnosis• Shamanic trans• Meditation• Enlightenment• Spiritual experience• Psychedelic states
Simulations based on different parameters could explain what really happens during special states of consciousness

Personality Systems Knowledge – Possible Application
• Memory track identification directly in brain structure• Simulation and research of mental processes• Understanding of personality dynamic (e.g. motivation
and causes of criminal acts)• Possible correction of unwanted states of mind• Tuning-up the mental skills (extreme IQ, operational
speed of decisions in military, memory capacity, unknown capabilities, brain co-processors)
• Understanding of mental activity of animals
Issue to be solved: Human hardware connectivity
Philosophy And Spiritual Dimension – Responsible
Science• Are we mature enough to live with artificial
being?– Could we „terminate“ such being?– Will human-like being also receive human rights?– How it influence the world?
• What if they will be smarter, faster,...better?– Could we survive as a slaves or pets
There is no doubt it will happen, the only question is WHEN.
Thanks for the attention!
