About This Book
This work presents a symbolic theory called Modeling Devices Theory (MDT) that treats the brain as an information-processing device and constructs logical definitions for core mental terms. It outlines basic hardware elements and a PSM-model of brain structure, distinguishes human and animal functions, proposes types of consciousness and personality, and diagnoses design deficiencies while raising questions about evolution or external intervention. A large set of example tests and applications applies the model to perception, dreams, psychiatric conditions, communication, music, cinematography, social organization, and paranormal phenomena, arguing for a unified formal framework to replace descriptive approaches in brain sciences.
