Brain death

mean to say that brain states and processes are identical with the mental states and processes? Mention four objections to this theory along with Smart’s reply to the same. The brain-mind identity theory (also known as physicalism) claims that the mental states and processes are identical to the processes and states of the brain. This does not, however, imply that the mind is the brain or vice versa. For instance, in saying that ‘Tom has a good mind’, we are not referring to his brain and…

Introduction Memory is the process of encoding, storing and retrieving of memory. Encoding is where information is taken into our memory, storing is where we store information into our brains and retrieving is where we retrieve information from our brain. Although we are prone to memory reconstruction which is when we store our memories but recall it differently. This is largely due to our schemas but sometimes it may be due to other factors. Bartlett’s War of the Ghosts study was conducted to…

The hypothalamus in located in the brain. It is responsible for regulating body temperature, some metabolic processes and it is the main part that controls the autonomic nervous system. The hypothalamus is also in control of the production of many vital hormones that play a major role in maintaining the right standards for your body and chemical substances that help control different cells and organs. The hormones released from the hypothalamus control physiologic purposes, such as sleep, mood…

Howard Gardner's Multiple Intelligence The theory of multiple intelligences was developed in 1983 by Dr. Howard Gardner after he suggests or questions that the traditional notion and definition of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. He found that people had many other gifts and talents that weren't necessarily reflected in the traditional ideals of intelligence. Instead, Dr. Gardner proposes eight different intelligences to account for a broader range of human potential in…

The human body is made up of chemicals and it interacts with a variety of chemicals made by man as well as nature. The body has a capacity to metabolise all chemicals, and beyond that they will cause toxicity. Toxicity in the body can be of any reason. Since the curry leaf contain variety of chemicals these is possibly of toxicity by consuming for a long period. The liver is a vital organ of metabolism. Liver plays a major role in detoxification and is generally the major site for intense…

understanding of the brain, its evolutionary development, and provides insights into the way the brain works, as well as the larger process of biological evolution. Artificial Intelligence (AI) can also be simply described as a collection of hard problems which can be solved by humans and other living things, but for which the algorithm for solving them is not available (Zhang, 2011). Although a subfield of computer science, Artificial Intelligence…

CHAPTER-1 INTRODUCTION OVERVIEW Multimodal biometric face and fingerprint recognition using XOR configuration system based on adaptive principal component analysis and multilayer perception. Multimodal biometric is a combination of physiological and behavioral characteristics into a single biometric system. The important cause to combine singular traits is to get improve recognition rate and accurate result. This is done when feature and trait of biometric are statistically independent. The…

The initial concentration of RSF solution also plays an important role in the preparation of PTX-loaded RSF nanospheres (Table 2). When the RSF concentration increased to 15 mg/ml, the diameter of PTX-loaded RSF nanospheres changed corresponding to the lower concentration [RSF= 8 mg/ml]. It proves that the drug-loaded nanospheres range from 110~580 nm which apply to the intravenous chemotherapy is easy to be synthesized via varying the concentration of RSF solution and ethanol. Table 2…

The answer to this is still being debated but as technology advance so does the human brain. Only time will tell who has full “control” of the playing field. The quote talks about control and how humans are not supernatural… could a human be a human or could it be artificial intelligence made into human form? Could this be the start of a terminator filled future or is this just an exaggerated part of one’s own brain? Think About…

instantly when needed. They also have a man, Otto, who relies on a notebook to store his information because his brain is not able to. Their argument for these two characters is that they both store information but in different ways. Igna has a normal memory like most of us, and Otto uses the notebook as an extension of his mind. The mind is not limited to the brain, but rather it uses both the brain and its surroundings. A restriction…
