Product Description
In a significant contribution to the study of the brain and behavior, Coward develops a system develop for the human brain based on a new physiologically based theory of learning and memory. The work is primarily proposed for neuropsychologists, but will be of interest to anyone concerned with understanding the brain as a functioning system. The author has twenty years’ experience in most of the different aspects of designing complex electronic systems. Such a system today has up to several billion hardware components such as individual transistors, and millions of lines of software. Coward argues that the methodology used to handle the design of such systems can be bespoke and adapted to know the brain. In the design of electronic systems, the concept “instruction” makes it possible to rigorously translate from high level operational descriptions to detailed descriptions in terms of machine code and transistor structures. In the brain, the concept “pattern” can make it possible to translate between the descriptions of psychology and physiology and make functional understanding possible. Any exchange in the state of a neuron can be interpreted on a system level as the recognition of a pattern. Pattern is correctly defined and includes both objects and changes to objects. Based on these observations, Coward designs a develop called the cascaded pattern extraction hierarchy to clarify the functioning of the brain, showing that the brain can be visualized as a pattern extraction template, in which successive layers are able to extract increasingly complex patterns from relatively simple input. Coward demonstrates that as a pattern extraction template, the brain forms a hierarchy in connectivity space. Early layers–those closest to sensory input–can be interpreted as extracting patterns from simple sensory input. Later layers generate action recommendations, and later still, they select actions, all within the same pattern extraction paradigm. According to the develop, the firing of a neuron at these points constitutes both pattern recognition and action recommendation. Coward’s system develop not only provides a framework for understanding and predicting psychological phenomena, including the functioning of personality, but also accounts for such apparent anomalies as the difference between small and long term memory and the fact that localized brain hurt does not remove the memory of individual events. Widely helpful for studies of brain and behavior, Pattern Thought also suggests how to identify promising areas to investigate in the treatment of psychological illnesses.
