Integrated Intelligence from Distributed Brain Activity

From Human Computation to the Global Brain: The Self-Organization of Distributed Intelligence

The present chapter wishes to investigate the wider context of human computation, viewing it as merely one approach within the broad domain of distributed human-computer symbiosis. The multifarious developments in the “social” Internet have shown the great potential of large-scale collaborative systems that involve both people and information technologies. Here, I wish to explore this developme...

Working memory training: improving intelligence--changing brain activity.

The main objectives of the study were: to investigate whether training on working memory (WM) could improve fluid intelligence, and to investigate the effects WM training had on neuroelectric (electroencephalography - EEG) and hemodynamic (near-infrared spectroscopy - NIRS) patterns of brain activity. In a parallel group experimental design, respondents of the working memory group after 30 h of...

Distributed Artiicial Intelligence

Distributed Artificial Intelligence

Distributed artificial intelligence (DAI) has emerged as a powerful paradigm for representing and solving complex problems. The growth of this field has been spurred by the advances in distributed computing environments and wide spread information connectivity. Although DAI started as a branch of artificial intelligence over twenty-five years ago, it has emerged as an independent research disci...
