This page covers biological principles of subsymbolic implementation.
Overview
- mind connections can be divided into aggregating and direct
- aggregating connections reduce level of details, constructing abstracts - object-bound, body-bound or spatial
- abstracts are also known as symbolic elements
- abstracts help to create complex behavior by means of integrating many modalities and static and dynamic aspects of environment
- direct (subsymbolic) connections create behaviour without aggregation
- most simple is environment-bound muscle power control: gamma-motoneuron -> muscle -> nucleus proprius -> alpha-motoneuron
- major non-aggregating circuit is muscle control by touch: skin -> dorsal column nuclei -> ventroposterolateral thalamic nucleus -> S1 -> M1 -> alpha-motoneuron -> muscle
