That's a great example of the other level of things happening in the brain - the emotional 'tagging' of memories. So thinking of angry thoughts, recall angry memories, which have associated the 'angry hormones', which flow and change the hear-rate. It's fascinating putting these 2 things together. For the CLA it would be all the same, just another sequence of 'stuff', but in this case we would need to encode this internal milleu stuff somehow. But yes it's indirect mechanism.

Next message: [nupic-dev] Mentioned presentation on action with CLA? Messages sorted by: [ date ] [ thread ] [ subject ] [ author ] That is interesting. I suppose one could learn to do that. But it would be slow and indirect. Not the mechanism I am proposing for sure!

Subject: Re: [nupic-dev] Mentioned presentation on action with CLA? Note that we cannot learn to control our heartbeat. I assume this is because the cortex does not project to the heart beat generator. Therefore, even if we learn to "hear" our heartbeat we cannot learn to control it. I believe this associatively linking of sequences is how the cortex learns to make behavior. Thought that was interesting so I looked it up. For reference (http://www.quora.com/Heart-1/Is-it-possible-to-consciously-stop-your-own-he art). Heartbeat is generated from within the heart and controlled through endocrine signals. So any control you have (thinking about thinks that make you angry and thus increase your heartrate) is by learning to control chemical release rather than directly.
