Symptoms of hypertension, fatigue, weakness, severe shortness of breath, congestion and cough.

Lung X-ray shows congestion in lung.

Echocardiogram rules out chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and congenital heart disease. The diagnosis is acute bronchitis.

Statistical analysis of echocardiogram reveals right side of heart enlarged, left side reduced – only apparent when compared to hundreds of other echocardiograms.

The statistical analysis suggests primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH), which is the correct diagnosis.

Collection of processes:– Sensation – Perception, – Action, – Emotion – Cognition

The mind can integrate ambiguous information from

– Sight, – hearing, – touch, – taste, and – smell;

It can form spatio-temporal associations and abstract concepts

It can make decisions and initiate sophisticated coordinated actions

The goal of Cognitive Computing is to develop a coherent,

unified, universal mechanism to engineer the mind, with an

ultimate objective of building intelligent business machines.
