Brain Function and Artificial Intelligence

Introduction

The purpose of this paper is to explore the human brain, its composition and its functioning. Different scientists and researchers have been trying for years to explore the functions that brain performs. After several years of research and analysis there are certain things and functionalities of brain that are not understood die to its sophisticated structure. The brain (or brain) is part of the central nervous system of vertebrates that is inside the skull. The brain itself is the most voluminous body of the brain. The weight of the brain ranges from 1,150 grams to 1,000 grams in both the genders; men and women. It consists of two cerebral hemispheres divided by a median membrane (Koslow, Huerta, 1997, 89-93).

This paper also discusses the concept of artificial intelligence (AI). The term artificial intelligence was formally introduced in 1956. The AI is one of the newest disciplines which along with the genetic mechanism is establishes an interesting field of research for the majority of scientists and researchers today. This paper will research about the concepts of AI and their implementation in face recognition procedure. Artificial intelligence is considered as the most rapid growing and significant technology which are believed to have a tremendous impact on the generations of tomorrow.

Review of the Literature

Structure of the Brain

The human brain from the outside appears to be divided into three distinct but complexly connected parts; the brain itself, the cerebellum and brainstem. The trunk of the brain refers generally to all structures contained between the brain and spinal cord. The brain is protected by the skull and is also covered by three membranes (White, 1996, 102-108). The outermost structure is tough, fibrous, and shiny and is attached to the bones of the skull; so no epidural space appears as in the bone.

 As educators we spend the majority of our time interacting with children in our class and there will be children that receive no individual attention in a given day. We must make sure that each child has been given some attention. After all in some circumstances the child may not get any attention at home either. There are key motivators that promote misbehaviour in the classroom ranging from boredom, prolonged mental effort, and inability to do the work to low self- esteem. There are various strategies for promoting positive behaviour and discouraging undesired behaviour. It is impossible to know all the strategies that are available and how they work, as one type of strategy may work for one individual but then fail to have an impact on another. Our job as educators is to assess and evaluate the mis - behaviour and tailor a solution. This was evident in the classroom where I saw a pupil muttering, it was evident that he was causing a distraction to the rest of the class. The teacher noted mentally that the boy was talking and proceeded to make direct eye contact to the ...
