The human brain as a hierarchical intelligent control system

John G. Taylor

pp. 99-122

Abstract

An approach to intelligence and reasoning is developed for the brain. The need for such an approach to Computational Intelligence is argued for on ethical grounds. The paper then considers various components of information processing in the brain, choosing attention, memory and reward as key (Language cannot be handled in the space available). How these could then be used to achieve cognitive faculties and ultimately reasoning are then discussed, and the paper concludes with a brief analysis of reasoning tasks, including the amazing powers of Betty the Crow.
