Steven Pinker is a professor at Harvard University on Evolutionary Psychology. He has written couple of books such as How the mind works and The blank slate which are related to psychology and its traditions. One really interesting point he makes is that, the mind is very complex. So, complex that we are unable to understand how we can learn so fast, even faster than robots. Furthermore, he talks about the ideas that are sin, which means that the humans are persuade easily to those ideas. People have choice to fantasize reality or come up with an idea to avoid illusion.
Dr. Gerald Edelman talks about Neural Darwinism. Edelman started off with examining the mind processing techniques. He mentions that the brain is context-sensitive, if you look at it, or listen to some music, the brain tries to detect the motion perception. Edelman does show a robot who was driving itself, and maybe detecting the patterns, or trying to find things what it was programmed for. Edelman shows very interesting points, examples and even some videos. One of my favorite one was the robot playing soccer game against the human, which is very different thing I’ve ever seen. Basically, the robots are working on sequences basic, if it detects the sequence, it does something which is very competitive.
