Abstract: | The phenomenon of "human consciousness" is considered on the basis of the full electronic interpretation of brain functioning
proposed earlier. In the second part of the work the following phenomena are considered on the basis of the developed theory of con-
sciousness: creative thinking, self-healing, altered states of consciousness, free will, and also prospects of the supermind are analyzed.
According to the theory of human consciousness described in the first part of the work, it becomes clear what are a thought and
other mental functions and their materiality is established. As a result, it is possible to understand a number of important phenomena:
creative thinking, self-healing, altered states of consciousness, free will. Within the framework of the proposed full electronic in-
terpretation of the brain functioning, it is made an estimation of the level of its integration as an object of electronics. The evaluation
is carried out, as it is traditionally done in micro- and nanoelectronics, in accordance with the number of active elements. It turned
out that it is about 1019...1021 active elements for the brain. On this basis, and following from the most important advantages of the
brain as an object of electronics determined in comparison with the integrated circuits of solid state electronics, it is possible to make
a more realistic and "sobering" forecast of the supermind creation prospects. It is shown that the proposed hierarchical approach to
brain research and the interpretation of its functioning represent a perspective not only for a more detailed study of the human brain,
but also for creating a supermind. |
