Gödel, Escher, Bach: Brains and Thoughts BRIDGES: Our questions Intentionality and Extensionality How is our (objective) reality mapped in the hardware of the brain? The Brain’s “Ants” (Ed & Sandy) • At what point do the neurons stop firing during • the thought process? What determines the process? Do the neurons fire just once or do they continue to take in input and evaluate it and fire another decision until the decisions are irrelevant? Why are the brains neurons able to receive many inputs at the same time, but only give one output at a time? Larger Structures in the Brain (Scott) What are the true long term effects of alcohol on memory and intelligence? Location of the Brain Processes (Ed & Julie) • Could it be the complexity of the stimuli that • determines the need for multiple neuron activity? Is this a possible conclusion as to why it seems hard to pin down where the thought process takes place in the brain? If mental experiences can be attributed to the brain, can knowledge and other aspects of mental life be traced to specific locations inside the brain? Mappings between Brains (Teresa) IF THINKING DOES TAKE PLACE IN THE BRAIN, THEN HOW ARE TWO BRAINS DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER? Specificity in Visual Processing (Olline) • The lateral geniculate neurons are triggered only by specific stimuli falling on specific areas of the retina. • Once the lateral geniculate neurons are triggered, in returning to the visual cortex; if they are hypercomplex cells what happens next? A “Grandmother Cell” (Pete & Scott) • At what age and when do our brain cells start deteriorating naturally? Is there any way to get them back? • Is our visual cortex responsible for filling in details of partially hidden objects, or is that done by another part of the brain? Funneling into Neural Modules (DeAnn) • Why do some images and experiences stay in the brain longer and more vividly than others? • Why do some apparently trivial conversations seem to stand out and be remembered forever? Active Symbols (Anya) • How can one make sense of neurological complexes? • Symbols are the hardware realizations of concepts. At what point do symbols become a part of your life? The Lowly Earthworm • The number of nerve cells in an animal like a worm would be measured, I suppose, in the thousands. • Look at one individual brain cell and find the corresponding cell in another earthworm of the same species. Classes and Instances (Wendy) • How do we classify? • Do cows classify?
