Abstract

The cognitive architecture designed within the natural-constructive approach to modeling the cognitive process is presented. This approach is based on the dynamical theory of information, the neurophysiology data, and neural computing (using the concept of dynamical formal neuron). It is shown that this architecture enables us to interpret and reproduce peculiar features of the human cognitive process, namely—uncertainty, individuality, intuitive and logical thinking, etc. It is shown that the human emotions could be interpreted as the derivative of the noise amplitude, with the absolute value reflects the degree of emotional reaction, while its sign corresponds to negative or positive emotion, respectively; thereby wide spread binary classification gets natural explanation.
