Information processing in brain microtubules.
Models of the mind are based on the idea that neuron microtubules can perform computation. From this point of view, information processing is the fundamental issue for understanding the brain mechanisms that produce consciousness. The cytoskeleton polymers could store and process information through their dynamic coupling mediated by mechanical energy. We analyze the problem of information tran...
متن کاملThe Information Processing Mechanism of the Brain
This dissertation describes the physical reality of how mental objects, such as perceptions, inner visions, thoughts and feelings exist in the brain in the form of patterns of neural activity. The text describes the medium in which the patterns exist, i.e. the "hardware" of the brain: the main functional component, the neural network, and its properties, and the interconnection between neural n...
متن کاملVisual processing of motion boundaries
Psychometric functions for motion detection were measured for various spatial velocity profiles made of independently moving lines of random dots. In the first experiment, sensitivity was greater for square-wave velocity profiles than for sine waves of the same fundamental spatial frequency. Sensitivity for square waves depended on the phase of the waveform with respect to the fixation point, w...
متن کاملInformation processing algorithms in the brain.
If the brain is a machine that processes information, then its cognitive activity can be interpreted as a set of information processing states linking stimulus to response (i.e. as a mechanism or an algorithm). The cornerstone of this research agenda is the existence of a method to translate the measurable states of brain activity into the information processing states of a cognitive theory. He...
