| Abstract: | Motivated by the interf aciology proposed by Otto Rossler, we have attempted to construct a framework of internal logic of the mind and brain. We propose a functional equation as an abstract form representing mental processes. We consider a method by which such internal logic can be interpreted and understood by an (external) observer. For this purpose, we propose a theory for cognitive experiments. Applying this theory to simple deductive inference processes exhibited by animal subjects in an experimental setting, with the assumption that syllogism is expressed as a composite mapping corresponding to the product operation of two implications A-t Band B -t C, an interpretation of the neural activity associated with the behavior in these experiments is obtained. This theory is consistent with the internal description hypothesized by Rob Rosen. |
