On neuroscience-based informational technologies for authentic models of individual mind

Progress of neuroscience and information technologies tentatively makes possible actual implementation of old ideas to enable individual human being informational individuality with ability of autonomous existence (“life”) in computers. The idea has numerous reflections in science fiction and mass media communications. It seems, that just now computer technologies and understanding of brain mechanisms have attained a level, which makes this idea to be feasible and contemporary. The authentic model of an individual can consist of neurocomputer-based expert system, endowed with multi-media abilities. The system simulates its user, reproducing a kind of an Alter Ego for the user. The simulation ability of the system is being fed into it as a result of a thorough knowledge engineering process, which includes multiple psychological tests and psycho-physical measurements. The alter ego multi-media system is self-adjusted in a process of a permanent day to day dialog with its unique user. As a result it acquires real characters of user’s individuality. The user can authorize use of the system, adjusted to simulate user’s features to represent user in communication with other persons. In this case the system operates in an Alter Homo mode, enabling the user with communication abilities a good deal superior to human ones.
