Abstract
There has been no prior general purpose brain-mind model for multiple events in complex backgrounds. I first discuss that although the age of brain-mind seems to have arrived, the current infrastructure does not well fit the need of research and peer-review for the challenging and important subject of brain-mind. Then, I present a general purpose model of the brain-mind, called the Epigenetic Developer (ED) network model. The model proposes five necessary “chunks” for the brain picture: development, architecture, area, space and time. The development chunk means that any practical brain, natural or artificial, needs to autonomously develop through interactions with the natural environments without any previously given set of tasks. The architecture chunk handles (1) multiple objects in complex backgrounds; (2) reasoning under abstract contexts; (3) multiple sensory modalities and multiple motor modalities and their integration. The area chunk addresses the issue of feature development and area representation, without rigidly specifying what each neuron does. The space chunk deals with spatial attention to individual objects in complex backgrounds, to satisfy the invariance and specificity criteria for type, location, and other concepts. The time chunk indicates that the brain uses its intrinsic spatial mechanisms to deals with time, without dedicated temporal components. The model copes with temporal contexts of events, to satisfy invariance and specificity criteria for time warping, time duration, temporal attention, and long temporal length. The theory and mechanisms are presented and some related experimental results are summarized.
