in eriksson's view, the understanding and modelling of complex systems required better understanding of the human mental functions. in his article “impact of information compression on intellectual activities in the brain” in 1996 eriksson presented an information theory based model for cognition. according to the model, humans perceive the real world through the representations of neural networks that are formed by cumulating experiences and learning processes. when brain functions are active, the cerebral cortex processes large volumes of information. conscious thought is a result of a massive information compression process, which originates from external sensations, such as sight and hearing, or from internal thoughts or associations, and is governed by the context and the emotional state. the condensation of relevant information, which takes place in the subconscious, generates instructions for reactions as well as new cognitive input for the cortex. a conscious thought itself should be considered as the control feedback of what the subconscious has already determined.
