Physics of intelligence. From the principles of self -organization to the model of thinking. Malyshkin P.A.

The book is devoted to issues of freedom of will and motivation of thinking, which for centuries have been causing fierce discussions of the largest philosophers and psychologists. The work proposes an approach to the study of nervous activity and intelligence from natural science positions. Continuing the known analogy between physical and information entropy shows the role of the principle of maximum entropy to describe behavior. This approach allows you to fill in some gaps in understanding the mind and the reasons for its occurrence.

Despite the complexity of the subject, the material is written in an amazingly clear language.

The book is intended for researchers - adherents of the ideology of strong artificial intelligence, who are looking for a compact, but capacious way of describing nervous activity, uniformly explaining the effects of learning and internal motivation.
