Patent ID: 7577631

Claim:
A computer program product comprising: a computer usable medium having computer readable program code means embodied in said medium for storing received data images in a memory structure, the memory structure including filtering attributes of time, space, and stimulus, said computer program product executable by a computer and comprising: a first executable portion for initializing the time, space and stimulus filtering attributes; a second executable portion for simultaneously applying the time and space filtering attributes to the received data images and elevating the images to consciousness if the images are within dynamic temporal and spatial properties, wherein consciousness is defined as images in short term memory (STM) image space that remain active for processing in a forebrain function until the image temporal latency exceeds at least one of a temporal and a spatial focal bound when it is defined as unconscious; a third executable portion for determining if simultaneous application of the time and space filtering attributes to the received data image has resulted in one or more filter errors, resulting in a filtered data image; a fourth executable portion for setting a focal point attribute for the filtered data image based on a comparison of the one or more filter errors to both temporal and spatial bounds; a fifth executable portion for storing the filtered data image and the focal point attribute in the memory structure; and a sixth executable portion for generating a list of data images which satisfy the temporal, spatial, and stimulus attributes of the filter and defines each data image as conscious for further processing, the sixth executable portion transmitting said data images to a destination, where the destination comprises at least one of a physical output on an IO subsystem, a communications channel, and a display.
