About This Book
The author proposes MDT, a symbolic, logic-based model of the brain's basic information-processing hardware, and develops precise definitions for terms such as knowledge, consciousness, imagination, and emotion. Treating the brain as a designed device, the model outlines six types of consciousness, logical mechanisms for implementing cognitive functions, and consequences for evolution, functional disorders, and technological replication. Applications examine testing and measurement, the limits of computational implementation, paranormal phenomena, and societal implications. The presentation emphasizes formal logical structure over medical anatomy and targets readers comfortable with mathematics and symbolic modeling.
