Just pondering the workings of the human mind - from an AI/robotics point of view (either of which I know little about)..
If conscience is when you're thinking about it (processing it in realtime)... and unconscience is when you're not thinking about it (eg it's autonomous behaviour).. would it be fair to say then, that:
- conscience is software
- unconscience is hardware
Considering that human learning is attributed to the number of neural connections made - and repetition is the key - the more the connections, the better one understands the subject - until it becomes a 'known'.
Therefore could this be likened to forming hard connections? Eg maybe learning would progress from an MCU to FPGA's - therefore offloading realtime process to the hardware (FPGA or some such device)?
