Whatever you are -- neuro-physician/surgeon, computer scientist, philosopher, or just a person aware of the directions of modern technology -- this book will truly change your perceptions.
An algorithm is just a repetitive procedure which yields a result. Could this algorithm help you enjoy a sunset? Or make a computer recognize events -- "Attention: Someone is behaving suspiciously at the East entrance?" Ever wondered how much your memory capacity could be? How do you "Close the TV"? Can a show more neural circuit make you tactless?
Starting from a powerful pattern recognition computer algorithm, this book assembles a hypothesis about how the mind could work -- with pointers to where human memory could be stored, how memory could be recalled, how recognition of events and objects could be triggered, how physical activities could be controlled and how judgment, will and emotions could finally manipulate the system. show less
