On Cognitive Processes of Analysis and Synthesis in Cognitive Computing
Author:
Abstract: Analysis and synthesis are a pair of fundamental cognitive processes at the inference layer of the brain. The former is an inference process that deductively decomposes an object or a system into its constituting attributes and components. The latter is an inference process that inductively composes individual attributes of components into a complex whole. This paper presents the cognitive foundations of analysis and synthesis in cognitive inferences. A set of mathematical models of analysis and synthesis is created. Based on the cognitive and mathematical models, the cognitive processes of analysis and synthesis are formally described in Real-Time Process Algebra (RTPA), which enable a rigorous explanation of the cognitive mechanisms of mental inferences in cognitive computing and cognitive robotics.
