Theory of human brain functioning

I.I. Abramov

Short summary

A new theory proposes human brain functioning is entirely electronic, operating as an organic hybrid nanoelectronic device with an integration level of 10^17–10^21 active elements, consuming ~20W.

Key points

  • Proposes a full electronic interpretation of brain functioning, treating it as an organic hybrid nanoelectronic device.
  • Suggests an integration level of 10^17–10^21 active elements, consistent with ~20W power consumption.
  • Formulates a main principle of brain operation: transformation of signals and energy reconstructions.
  • Lays theoretical groundwork for reconstructing lost brain function and achieving artificial consciousness.

Abstract

As many specialists recognize the most difficult problems of modern science are human brain functioning and Universe, its appearance and development. This paper was devoted to the first problem. In the paper a review of human brain functioning including consciousness theory was presented. Key positions for developed theory of brain functioning are: 1) full electronic interpretation of operation (it is based on hypothesis 1); 2) complex hierarchic approach of brain investigation (it is based on hypothesis 2 and 3). Full electronic interpretation allows to consider brain as object of organic hybrid nanoelectronics with level of integration M within the range of active elements 1017…1021. Consumed power of brain about 20 W is a convincing analysis of rightness of the proposed interpretation. The theory of brain functioning including consciousness and qualia was formed on developed theoretic basis. Moreover formulated main principle of brain operation – transformation of signals and energy reconstructions is important. Proposed theory can be used as basis for development of methods of reconstruction of human brain when it was lost. Fourth hypothesis about possibility of artificial consciousness realization – one of main questions in the region of artificial intelligence – was formulated on proposed theoretic basis.
