The brain/mind complex is a unified system with hierarchical levels, including neuronal, functional, and semantic. It utilizes both logical and non-logical mechanisms, like fuzzy logic and heuristics, for problem-solving.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Philosophy of Mind

Background:

  • The brain/mind complex is viewed as a monolithic system.
  • It exhibits emergent properties across hierarchical levels of organization.
  • These levels (neuronal, functional, semantic) are non-reducible and interact.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the brain/mind complex as a unified system.
  • To explore the epistemological mechanisms of problem-solving.
  • To emphasize the role of non-logical processes in cognition.

Main Methods:

  • Hierarchical organization analysis.
  • Epistemological examination of cognitive mechanisms.
  • Analysis of logical, fuzzy logic, and heuristic approaches.

Main Results:

  • The brain/mind functions as a single, integrated system.
  • Hierarchical levels (neuronal, functional, semantic) are distinct yet interactive.
  • Non-logical mechanisms (fuzzy logic, heuristics) are crucial for practical problem-solving.

Conclusions:

  • The brain/mind complex operates as an indivisible entity.
  • Cognitive processes integrate logical and non-logical strategies.
  • Understanding non-logical mechanisms is key to comprehending mind function.
