ABSTRACT
This introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the subsequent chapters of this book. The book presents the fundamental considerations about the understanding of a new and fluent neurocognition. It also presents three promising architecture types, which could, in the near future, further develop the solution of the binding problem by means of a phase synchronization mechanism. The book summarizes the state of the contemporary discussion and evaluates the main approaches to solving the binding problem of the most interesting neuroarchitectures. It provides an outlook on future research in this field. The book addresses and discusses some problems from the viewpoint of the philosophy of science and the philosophy of cognitive science. The cognitive neuroarchitectures of modern connectionism and the mathematics of nonlinear Dynamical System Theory can be regarded as a contribution towards building a deeper understanding of what neural or cognitive information really is.
