Inheritance
is a sophisticated property of nature. It is the accumulated transfer of
properties, knowledge and experiences through the centuries. An IT counterpart
appears through the nowadays Internet, Grid and other constituents of a novel
mixed and complex human-machine Ambient Intelligence (AmI).
Two layers of scientific problems appear:
P1:
The first problem
is defined by E. Niedermeyer: “This work led us into a ‘brave new world’
of EEG computerisation and, as early as in 1967, we were told that customary EEG
reading would soon be a thing of the past, replaced by a fully automatic EEG
interpretation. ... It was found that EEG is by far too complex for such
automation. Its interpretation requires that wonderful computer that is located
between the ears.” /39 p. 12/. This “wonderful computer that is located
between the ears” is able for signal recognition, understanding, reasoning and
gather and distribute knowledge in excellent manner. However the customary EEG
reading is only possible by excellent technical support.
Are
we able and what must we do, to realise such sophisticated task as intelligent
patient monitoring and support of disabled persons by technical systems, by the
design and application of innovative ICT?
The
existing algorithmic solutions, - the base components of all applied systems,
never before were oriented to knowledge acquisition and accumulation,
uncertainties, and dynamic information treatment as an interrelated set of
requirements. The new conditions face with novel algorithmic problems in
addition to those, known and hard mathematically: is a problem ever computable,
having an approximate solution, which is the resource lower estimate for a
computation?
P2:
The second problem
is defined by F.Crick: “The great advantage of the EEG is that its
discrimination in time is rather good, in the range of a millisecond or so. Thus
the rising and falling of the brain waves can be followed rather well. What is
ness clear is what the waves signify.”/32, p 111/. The function and structure
of the human brain is excellent, however nobody know the function in the inner
details from signal to understanding and reasoning. The evaluation is only
possible by the evaluation of the outcome, the language as body language and
reactions and as most important: the understanding of language. The language is
the universal and most important tool for knowledge transfer, teaching and
learning.
But
we have an excellent model: computer systems!
We
have designed and understand each detail of the structure and function in the
digital world, however we came back to problem one!
