The book The Future of the Mind: The Scientific Quest to Understand, Enhance and Empower the Mind by Michio Kaku is a fantastic book to get a general idea of how far scientists have advanced in the field of neuroscience research, the future of this research, as well as its implications on humanity, society and universe at large. The author provides many examples and viewpoints that can further the reader's understanding of the future of neuroscience research. However, in my opinion, this book consists

The most important think about culture is the way individuals’ value and view in their own perspective mind. The introduction to Japanese culture class is one way for me to have the idea of what culture mean to Japanese society.

The Mind, Music, and Behavior abstract The main purpose of the paper is to investigate and present the relationship between the mind, music, and human behavior. For this purpose, research is presented on previous works and studies that link music with the mind. Based on this research, music increases neurotransmitter levels. Soft or mellow music has a tendency to promote tranquillity, while music with tempo sometimes distracts. Human memories can be cued by music, and music can promote improved

The Cogito argument, “I think, therefore I am” was a statement made by Descartes and is valid. The Second Meditation, “The nature of the human mind, and how it is better known than the body” the meditator is determined in his decision to search for uncertainty and to dispose anything that is false and contains the slightest doubt.

“The Accidental Mind”, by David J Linden, adequately covers the broad subject of human brain evolution by covering the intriguing concepts of love, memory, dreams, and religion. To make the non-fiction accessible to enthused readers, rather than advanced scientists, Linden separates the chapters by topic and evenly distributes his information by applying context to real world situations. His immense knowledge and research conducted shows through, with thorough explanations of some theories and concepts

Additionally, GOFAI depicts the mind as an automaton that uses knowledge as a formal code. However, GOFAI cannot reconfigure information to make it true, because it cannot be applying different methods of ‘information’ such belief; whereas the mind is flexible
