Streszczenie

Celem pracy jest wskazanie na podstawowe procesy neurologiczne i biofizyczne konstytuujące kompleksowy model umysłu świadomego. Przedstawiono zarówno model obliczeniowy działania neuronowych pól tworzących mentalne reprezentacje rzeczywistości, jak i biologiczne koncepcje realizacji tych funkcji mózgu. Wyjaśniono motywacje ludzkiego i zwierzęcego działania. Przedstawiono koncepcje, jak powstaje świadomość oraz jak rozpoznajemy, że jesteśmy świadomi, co objaśnia także problem samoświadomości. Wskazano, że zrozumienie fenomenu świadomości usuwa antynomię teleologicznego i przyczynowego charakteru natury ludzkiej, co niweluje dualizm cielesnego i duchowego charakteru substancji tworzącej nasze umysły. W części pierwszej przedstawiono ograniczenia koncepcji obliczeniowego modelu rozpoznawania poprzez porównywanie i poszukiwanie podobieństw wzorców według Perłovsky’ego oraz wskazano na sposób rozwinięcia tej koncepcji poprzez uwzględnienie morfologii i biologicznych funkcji sieci neuronowej mózgów naturalnych. Pokazano, że neuronowe pola synaptyczne o strukturze hierarchicznej impresjonów w rozumieniu hipotezy Vadakkana mogą spełniać role neuronowych pól modelujących zaangażowanych w główne procesy psychiczne. Zauważono, że rozszerzony w ten sposób poziom analizy funkcji mózgu w dalszym ciągu nie pozwala na wyjaśnienie fenomenu świadomości i konieczne jest przeanalizowanie podłoża biochemicznego i molekularnego tych procesów, co zostanie przedstawione w następnych częściach pracy.

 

Summary

The aim of this paper is to indicate basic neural and biophysical processes which constitute the phenomenon of conscious brain. The paper includes the computational model of neural modelling fields (NMF), which form mental representations of reality as well as biological concepts regarding the way these brain functions are implemented. The motivation of human and animal activity is also explained. The concepts regarding the emergence of consciousness are discussed, along with the perception of being conscious and the issue of self-awareness. It was demonstrated that the understanding of the phenomenon of consciousness eliminates the antinomy of a teleological and causative character of human nature, which, in turn, concludes the discussion on the duality of the physical or spiritual nature of the matter of which our minds are created. In the first part of this essay limitation of the computational model of recognition through comparison and detection patterns similarities according Perlovsky dynamic logic applied to the NMF is discussed. Further improvement of this concept was demonstrated taking under consideration morphology and biological functions of the neural network of natural brains. Neural synaptic fields can play the role of NMF and crate hierarchical structure of semblions according to Vadakkan hypothesis responsible for major psychical functions. Even deeper level of brain functions analyse hereunder doesn’t explain the consciousness phenomenon. For this goal biochemical and molecular background of these processes is necessary what will be described in following parts of this essay.
