The main topic of this expert lecture from Dr. Gerald Edelmen is on Cognitive Computing. Cognitive computing is to take all the actual data we have about the brain and use it to reengineer our use of the mind. Our mind is our most important possession because it is with our mind that we make the world and our world. This expert lecture focus' on bringing the most gifted minds in the world of neuroscience, biology, and many other fields to trade ideas in search of grand theory of how the mind works that is consistent with the body of known data about the brain. That is why learning about how our minds work and knowing the background information on how they got this way, helps us to figure out exactly how to use our minds in the most productive way possible. I believe it is through the process of learning that we experience evolution of our psychology.
According to Edelmen there is no formal definition of mind. Roughly speaking, the mind is a tightly intertwined collection of cognitive processes of perception, memory, language, learning, will and eventually consciousness. Very simply speaking, Cognitive computing is what a philosopher does when he puts neuroscience together with computer science to explain psychology. I find this interesting because one of my underlying believes about this physical universe is that every single aspect of this live can be calculated into a mathematical equation. In other words, I believe that every single aspect of life can be proven using actual numbers. There are actual countable systems that make up even the most abstract of human behaviors, most of which we haven't yet been able to comprehend nor will we be able to comprehend in any short period of time.
