Artificial intelligence, human cognition, and conscious supremacy Journal : Frontiers in Psychology
It is my ultimate goal to solve the problem of how consciousness arises from the neural activities in the brain. It is the holy grail of not only neuroscience, but also indeed the whole of science. Qualia, free will, memory, and temporality are among the subjects studied. Along the way, it is necessary to take a good look into various aspects of the functions of the brain. The recent development of artificial intelligence has provided interesting new challenges for neuroscience. The structure of evaluation function, which is excellently optimized by recent models of AI, reveals a multifaceted, robust, and distributed nature in the case of the brain. Specifically, it is interesting to ask how the brain develops personality, characterized by the "Big Five" factors (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness, and neuroticism). I pursue a game theoretic approach where personalities evolve as the result of interaction among agents.
Other topics studied include emotion, embodiment, interaction, attachment, and mechanisms of learning as an open-ended process. I investigate how ikigai would affect the health and wellness of people.
