Introduction In this study I will be replicating Stroop’s experiment to demonstrate the Stroop effect. Cognition is defined as the mental processing technique used to acquire knowledge and understanding through experience, thought and senses. Glassman and Hadad (2004) suggest that humans process information like computers. When senses are exposed to conflicting stimuli, the strongest cognitive process dominates the response. It is instinctive to read words as they are written, regardless of the…

A robot is only as reliable and trustworthy as the program that controls it. TruPhysics is an owner-managed company that was founded in 2014 at the Institute of automation and software engineering of University Stuttgart. They have created a unique simulation process. By creating digital twins of the robot and environment and simulating the physical behavior in real-time to generate training data training neuronal networks of the robot. Thus they can handle tasks in individual situations with…

“Imagine that 7 out of 10 working Americans got fired tomorrow. What would they all do?” Kevin Kelly the author of “Better than Human: Why Robots Will-and Must-Take Our Jobs” brings up a topic that has been in the minds of middle-class Americans for the past 10 years. The fear of technology taking our jobs and not just that but doing better than us is a topic that is in early development but it seems like every day new and better technology is being invented and that topic comes closer and…

Transhumanist Memory Uploading Through the Lens of McConnell’s Experiments Introduction: In the 1950s, American biologist and psychologist James McConnell conducted an experiment to explore how flatworms were able to receive memory through planarian cannibalism. In this experiment, he first trained a group of flatworms to learn and move around the maze while measuring the time they took. Then, he chopped the flatworms into pieces and fed them to another group of flatworms, which were able to…

What Impacts do Robots Really Make? In “All Can Be Lost,” Nicholas Carr, writer of NY Times, Wall Street Journal, and Wired, warns that the advancement in technology can lead to the deterioration of human skills. Carr explains that humans are so involved in finding ways for robots and drones to do their jobs that they are forgetting how to innovate and translate information into knowledge. Losing the ability to translate information also limits humans from being able to think deeper and try and…

I believe that the plan to get back sweetie’s heart using computer science to scan her brain, and make a perfect A.I simulation of the program will ultimately fail. To first understand my arguments, one has to understand the argument of A.I, the different types, and why the A.I that is needed for this program will most likely never exist. I support Nagel’s theory, in which no matter how much technology advances, there will always be something different between machine and man. This puts A.I.…

What happens when our ability to process information in relation to critical thinking is impaired and we are reduced to mere facts of information accessed? Jorge Luis Borges’ fictional story “Funes the Memorious” addresses this question through providing a case, as an example, of how the brain may approach information in relation to mankind’s ability to think versus recall. In the story, Funes was a young man who tragically passed away but had an incredible memory. The narrator felt obligated…

In programming language is used to describe the PSO terms from the particles in a swarm. These significant terms are: 1. Particle (agent, individual): each agent in the swarm; 2. Swarm: the population of the agents; 3. Location/Position: agent has n-dimensional coordinates. It represents a best solution for the problem; 4. Generation: each iteration of optimization procedure using the Particle Swarm Optimization to solve problem; 5. Fitness Function: It provides the interface between the…

There are millions of people in this world and yet nobody knows exactly what will be happening in the next couple of decades. Eric Schmidt and Jared Cohen explain in their article “Our Future Selves” what advancements the world of technology will have in the future. They talk about how the population will be connected through technology, and how they will benefit from each and every invention or advancement. I believe that these two men have a point as to why everyone will be connected. A reason…
