AGI '09 Paper: "Understanding the Brain's Emergent Properties"

I just recently submitted a paper to The Second Conference on Artificial General Intelligence. The paper is a position statement describes how our work in swarm-level interactive control could be applied to building artificial general intelligence. This paper was done in collaboration with Marc Pickett and Dr. Marie desJardins.

To read more about rule abstraction, check out our AAMAS '09 paper that is currently still under review.

Title: Understanding the Brain's Emergent Properties

Abstract:
In this paper, we discuss the possibility of applying rule abstraction, a method designed to understand emergent systems, to the physiology of the brain. Rule abstraction reduces complex systems into simpler subsystems, each of which are then understood in terms of their respective subsystems. This process aids in the understanding of complex systems and how behavior emerges from the low-level interactions. We believe that this technique can be applied to the brain in order to understand the mind and its essential cognitive phenomena. Once a sufficient model of the brain and mind is created, our framework could then be used to build artificial general intelligence that is based on human intelligence.
