A Distributed Framework for Semi- Automatically Developing Architectures of Brain and Mind
نویسندگان
چکیده
Developing comprehensive theories of low-level neuronal brain processes and high-level cognitive behaviours, as well as integrating them, is an ambitious challenge that requires new conceptual, computational, and empirical tools. Given the complexities of these theories, they will almost certainly be expressed as computational systems. Here, we propose to use recent developments in grid technology to develop a system of evolutionary scientific discovery, which will (a) enable empirical researchers to make their data widely available for use in developing and testing theories, and (b) enable theorists to semi-automatically develop computational theories. We illustrate these ideas with a case study taken from the domain of categorisation.

متن کاملDeveloping a Framework for Accounting and Financial Management Procedures of Joint Operating Agreements (JOAs) in Iran's oil and gas industry
Regarding the contingency theory, the purpose of this research is to identify factors affecting the development of accounting and financial management procedures for joint operating agreements in Iran's oil and gas industry. To this end, at first, some partial factors were identified through deep study of theoretical foundations. Subsequently, in order to identify environmental factors, a semi-...
متن کاملNeuro-ACT Cognitive Architecture Applications in Modeling Driver’s Steering Behavior in Turns
Cognitive Architectures (CAs) are the core of artificial cognitive systems. A CA is supposed to specify the human brain at a level of abstraction suitable for explaining how it achieves the functions of the mind. Over the years a number of distinct CAs have been proposed by different authors and their limitations and potentials were investigated. These CAs are usually classified as symbolic and...
متن کاملHouk Agents of the mind
The higher order circuitry of the brain is comprised of a large-scale network of cerebral cortical areas that are individually regulated by loops through subcortical structures, particularly through the basal ganglia and cerebellum. These subcortical loops have powerful computational architectures. Using, as an example, the relatively well-understood processing that occurs in the cortical/basal...
متن کاملA Unified Framework for Developing Service-Oriented, Component-Based Distributed Software Systems
This chapter introduces the UniFrame approach to creating high quality computing systems from heterogeneous components distributed over a network. It describes how this approach employs a unifying framework for specifying such systems to unite the concepts of service-oriented architectures, a component-based software engineering methodology and a mechanism for automatically finding components o...
