Abstract

It is typically known that brain neurons are responsible for a significant part of our knowledge adaption process. However, it is not yet fully understood how knowledge adaption works or what conscious intelligence is. The aim of this research is to investigate how an E-learning environment can automatically identify learning sequences to dynamically map them to specific learning types for suggesting course material, which makes learning more individual, flexible and faster. For the purpose of this research, a neural ontology is created. In this ontology, the characterization of one neural brain cell is meant to represent every neuron cell in our brain as a specific part of a neural network to get closer to the answer how a simulation of brain functions could be accomplished. This paper describes a neural network theory and how the conceptual model of a neural brain cell could be interpreted through the concept of cognitive pattern match in relation to intelligence. In conclusion, two fundamental hypotheses for effective knowledge adaption in E-learning environments are derived.
