Human Mind Revealed!

From a variety of sources, cognitive scientist T. E. Van Buskirk has gathered and organized the functions of the mind into the Human Mind Map. The Human Mind Map is a diagram of the relationships of mental functions. The diagram contains descriptions of the functions and hyperlinks to web-based supporting documents.

This information provides the foundation for artificial intelligence software designers and engineers to create an intelligent agent.
