We had a great dialogue in this chapter with a professor from the Economy faculty, whose name was Christopher, I don't recall his last name. But he gave great contributions to our dialogue and it was very rich with meaning and better understanding of this chapter.
When I started reading this chapter I regret that last week we had a dialogue with Arne, about the mind and brain and this chapter is precisely about the mind, we could've come with better questions if we had read this before. But anyways I was thrilled from the beginning to end with this chapter.
The connections the brain makes are precisely programmed and guided to their destinations by chemical cues. Each neuron is touched by the terminal axon branches of many other neurons, established by a kind of democratic vote whether it is to be active or silent.
Ammygdala- emotion, Hyppocampus- memory, especially short term memory, Hypothalamus- memory, temperature control, sexual drive, hunger and thirst, Thalamus- awareness of temperature and all other senses except smell, awareness of pain, and the mediation of some processes of memory.
Mind is a stream of conscious and subconscious experience. Long term memory recalls specific events by drawing particular persons, objects, and actions into the conscious mind through a time sequence.
Without the stimulus and guidance of emotion, rational thought slows and disintegrates
The whole purpose of this chapter is to describe what is mind.
Consciousness is not a remote command center but part of the system, intimately wired to all the neural and hormonal circuits regulating physiology.
The vital role in the sharing of culture is what the humanities is all about.
The common property of art and science is the transmission of information, and in one sense the respective modes of transmission in science and art can be made logically equivalent.
The self is not an ineffable thing living apart within the brain. It is the key dramatic character of the scenarios, the senses are in the body and the body created the mind to represent the governance of all conscious actions.
Much of the computation in decision making is unconscious- strings dancing the puppet ego.
The mind are all but infinite in detail, their content evolving in accordance with the unique history and physiology of the individual. Because the individual mind cannot be fully known and predicted, the self can go on passionately believing in its own free will.The mind does have free will.
To be human, the artificial mind must imitate that of an individual person., with its memory banks, filled by a lifetime's experience- visual, auditory, chemoreceptive, tactile, and kinesthetic, all freighted with nuances of emotion.
