Abstract: Electrical current and/or conductivity in an electrical current channel varies in response to spatiotemporal magnetic flux pattern and/or to variation in electromotive force (EMF). For example, a channel with time-varying electrical conductivity can have induced electrical current variation due to flux pattern resulting from electrical current in another channel or set of channels; the current variation can increase magnetic flux density. The electrical currents can be transient electrical currents, and can cascade to amplify a resulting electromagnetic waveform. A channel can include the channel of a zener or zener-like diode or of a transistor, as well as an extended conductive channel. Channels can be configured in electrical current loops and in various orientations and combinations to obtain current and/or conductivity variation. A transient electrical current can be triggered in a channel, e.g.

Abstract: A brain imaging system can be operated to obtain brain image signals indicating activity at brain locations, and information can be extracted from the brain image signals. For example, for each of a set of living human brain regions that can have two or more possible activity features such as qualia features, feature values can be obtained indicating activity features of the region. The feature values can be more explicit than brain image data indicating activity at brain locations. A data structure can be produced that includes data indicating extracted information, such as qualia value data for a quale activity feature that can occur in a region. Such a data structure can be stored on a storage medium and used in diagnosis and/or treatment of detrimental conditions of consciousness.

Abstract: In self-programming, an iteration uses data indicating parameters. Some parameters can be used to obtain an input value. Another parameter can be a match value that can be used with an input value to obtain control data indicating whether to perform a learning response. Another parameter could include a stack that temporarily stores a generated value from each of a number of preceding iterations in which a learning response was not performed. Another parameter could include learned values stored from the stack during a learning response. Some parameters can be numbers: a number of iterations from which generated values are stored during a learning response; a number of unsuccessful iterations after which values are generated randomly; or a number of iterations during which values are generated randomly. A parameter can indicate whether learned values are cleared before a self-programming session. Some parameters can indicate how images are presented to a user.

Abstract: Each self-programming module in a network uses its input signals to obtain a sequence of received signals. Each received signal is used to obtain a control data item having a first or a second value. If the first value, the received signal is also used to obtain a generated data item. If the second value, a learning response can occur, storing a limited length sequence of previous generated data items so that each can be accessed with data items having the same value as the received signal for which it was obtained. A generated data item can be obtained by accessing a stored previous generated data item. If none has been stored for the current received signal or in case of repetition of received signals or a long gap between learning responses, a random number can be obtained as the generated data item. When the control data item has the second value, the module can provide an output signal, and the output signal from one module can be an input signal to another.

Abstract: A self-programing technique includes receiving a sequence of input signals and comparing each input signal with an expectation signal. A sequence of output signals is generated from the input signals, and at least part of the output signal sequence is stored when the expectation signal compares favorably with the input signal. Modular units performing this technique may be connected as a master with one or more servants. The master provides the expectation signals for the servants as its output and receives their signals indicating their comparison outcomes as its input. Within each programmer, a random number may be generated as an output when the input signal received is not expected and has not previously been stored as an input preceding an output signal. The random number output provides trial and error capabilities.
