Autonomic Mind

Autonomic Mind
The mind is a collection of faculties that determines mental phenomena and human behavior. The major faculties are sensation, will, memory, imagination, and thought; however, the mental phenomena are emotion, intention, pain experience, and perception. Different researchers have proposed overlapping classifications of the phenomena with unique groups of transitions, including occurrent, conscious, intentional, propositional, and sensory (Goel, 2022). Minds can be described as properties and not substances that determine the mental stability of human beings. Conscious-approach describes the mind as the primary element that determines the mental state. Therefore, studying the mind requires comprehensive knowledge of phrenological mapping.
Phrenological mapping describes various ways the mind contrasts with physicality, matter, and body. The contrast is noted as a mind-body problem and influences human behavior. According to idealism and dualism, traditional viewpoints, the mind is non-physical (Dennett, 2017). However, according to modern viewpoints, the mind is determined by functionalism and physicalism and aligns with the brain. The traditional and modern viewpoints influence mental characteristics and their impacts on human behaviors. It is also necessary to determine whether the mind is exclusive or not due to its impacts on human behavior. Due to differences and views on minds, four systems are available: autonomic, instinctive, associative, and cognitive. The paper determines the relationship between the four minds, their characteristics, strengths, and weaknesses. The paper also illustrates whether one of the minds captures human behavior more than the other or whether people rely on all four systems.
Autonomic Mind
The regulation of internal bodily functions majorly characterizes the autonomic mind. Besides, it also monitors the internal environment maintaining it at a specific range (Goel, 2022). An organism cannot decide using a reasoned approach for insulin release; however, the autonomic system promotes automatic response. Another critical role of the autonomic system is breathing adjustment. An individual cannot learn to release insulin or breathe; however, it is hardwired using the autonomic mind. The autonomic mind also determines the relationship between the response and stimulus. Changes in the stimulus are essential for specific behavioral changes experienced due to the normal biological constraints in the body. Due to the action of the autonomic mind, the tendon activates the motor neuron and other quadriceps muscles. Therefore, a varying sensory signal is generated and leads to a response. The action shows that the autonomic mind is characterized by the response and stimulus actions. After exhausting the stimulus and response actions, it is essential to address its relationship with reasoning, associative, and instinctive systems.
Despite the stimulus and response actions, the autonomic mind is also accompanied by incomplete autonomous actions of reasoning, associative and instinctive systems. For instance, the hunger or satiety level affects reasoned, learned, and instinctive food-foraging behaviors (Bortolla et al., 2022). The automatic mind is also characterized by volitional choice.
