Abstract:
We continue a series of works on modeling especially the human aspects of cognitive process, such as intuition, the influence of emotions, the role of personality, etc. The Natural Constructive Cognitive Architecture proposed and analyzed in our previous works has an important design feature: the entire system consists of two connected subsystems conventionally corresponding to the cerebral hemispheres of human brain. One of them is responsible for the processing of well-known information, the other is aimed at learning new information and creative work. This paper is focused on analyzing the extreme mode of thinking process, namely, the effect of panic in creative work (“throes of creativity”). It is shown that the regime of panic in an artificial cognitive system could be imitated by chaotic fluctuations in the amplitude of self-excitation around an abnormally high level. A sharp drop in the self-excitation level below the normal value (ensuring normal system’s functioning) leads to a decrease in efficiency (an analogue to the depression).
