Abstract

Phenomenological theory of mind based on simple concepts related to
human cognition is introduced.  Basic concepts of this theory are
directly related to neurophysiological events in the brain and may also
be extended to explain higher cognitive functions realized by the mind.
This theory on the one hand solves fundamental problems in cognitive
sciences, explaining puzzling behavior of human conscious experience,
and on the other hand leads to useful models of mind in form of
neurofuzzy systems.  Such systems can compete in pattern recognition and
classification tasks with neural networks and in reasoning tasks with
expert systems.
