The brain seems to work on symbols of goals. The brain and body are closely related or integrated. The body sends signals to brain and brain sends impulses or extracts hormone. When the body needs energy for metabolism it triggers part of the brain that controls appetite. This is the symbol of 'get food' and when this symbol gets into the mental process, we began to choose the kind of food to eat. If we choose pizza or burger, it is the final decision to answer the signal 'get food'.
So, eating pizza or burger is not the initial instruction. The 'get food' is the initial instruction. The same organization also apply for other activities like 'find mate' or 'avoid danger'. This organization also shows level of process that are symbolic level and logical level.

A dream about making an intelligent system that can solve general problems instead of specific one like play chess or recognize face.
About Me
- Frans Indroyono
- I am interested in artificial intelligence and I want to build a true intelligent system that is to solve general problem instead of specific one (e.g. play chess or recognize face).
The nature has examples of intelligent system that can solve general problem, that is the brain.
I am a self learner and my source of knowledge are books. I have collected several books about how the brain works (cognitive, neurology, neural networks) but books are not enough because I need study mate to discuss opinions and share knowledge. I would appreciate it if you can share your knowledge.
My writings are far from scientific one. I simple express my wonder.
