Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If multiple interdependent levels of analysis are used to model cognitive processes, then the comprehensiveness of understanding brain function is improved, but the device complexity and difficulty of analysis increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the complex cognitive analysis into multiple distinct but interdependent levels: philosophical level (consciousness, cognition), psychological level (behavior, perception), and neuroscientific level (neuronal activity, brain structure). Each level can be analyzed separately using appropriate methods and tools, yet they are integrated through the unified framework to provide comprehensive understanding without overwhelming system complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces mathematical models and computational frameworks as intermediary layers that bridge the philosophical, psychological, and neuroscientific levels. These intermediaries translate concepts across different levels of analysis, allowing complex multi-level cognition modeling without requiring direct integration of all components, thus managing system complexity while maintaining comprehensiveness.
2Reliability
If a unified mathematical approach is used to analyze different mediums of brain function, then the consistency and reliability of analysis are improved, but the device complexity and measurement difficulty increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent develops universal mathematical frameworks and computational models that can be applied across multiple mediums of brain function including neuronal activity, molecular chirality, and frequency oscillations. These unified models provide consistent analysis methodology for different brain functions, improving reliability while the modular design keeps the complexity manageable through reusable components.
3Measurement precision
If multiple read modalities are integrated to determine neuron network structures, then the measurement precision and diagnostic accuracy are improved, but the device complexity and data processing requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges multiple read modalities (electrical recordings, optical imaging, molecular assays) into an integrated system for determining neuron network structures. By combining these modalities, the system achieves higher measurement precision and diagnostic accuracy through complementary data streams, while the unified mathematical framework consolidates the complexity rather than multiplying it.

AI summary
In embodiments, devices, methods and systems to analyze the different mediums of brain function in a mathematically uniform manner may be provided. For example, in an embodiment, a computer-implemented method for determining structure of living neural tissue may comprise receiving at least one signal from at least one read modality, the signal representing at least one physical condition of the living neural tissue, determining action potentials based on the signals received from the read modalities, determining frequency oscillations based on the signals received from the read modalities and the action potentials, determining neuron network structures based on the photonic signals received from the read modalities, the action potentials, and the frequency oscillations, wherein the neuron network structures are determined using a Maximum Entropy model, and mapping brain region activation by S+/R− events to observable linguistic events using the Maximum Entropy model.
