Curriculum Vitae of research
    Helmut Schnelle studied physics. After the diploma in the year 1957 he subsequently concentrated on studies in communication research, formal linguistics and cybernetic computation in automata and nervous systems. Though Chomskyan and Montague schemata for formal linguistics seemed to fit perfectly into axiomatic analyses in the logico- mathematical sense further research was rather encouraged by von Neumann’s statement that effectively constructive logics, that is intuitionistic logics, can be best studied in terms of automata where logical propositions can be represented as electrical networks or (idealized) nervous systems. This view was further supported by subsequent proofs that growing automata are indeed formally equivalent to universal Turing machines. Cooperation with C.A. Petri allowed to establish this position and allowed to construct grammar structure systems as automata and (idealized) nervous systems and allowed to concentrate on the problem of bridging formal knowledge schemata of syntax and semantics and functional knowledge of recent neurocognition of the cerebral cortex and the nerve system in the body. The books of 1991 and 2010 summarized the present state of research. These books demonstrate that the foundational framework is most appropriately based on the philosophy of Leibniz, 1695 to 1715, an epoch in Leibniz’ life that followed the earlier period of his interest in formal logic.
Some details:
    During the sixties of the last century studies of Helmut Schnelle were concentrated on German semantic analyses and their application to machine translation, lexical analyses, linguistic communication analyses based on Y. Bar-Hillel’s ideas, and partially on contacts with research groups in the USA and Israel. Parallel to these, philosophical studies of Leibniz’ philosophy about mind and body.. After the PhD in Philosophy and Linguistics Helmut Schnelle became professor of Linguistics in the Technical University of Berlin and on several occasions visiting professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, and at the MIT in Cambridge MA. at a time in which Helmut Schnelle concentrated on the possibility of Montague’s set theoretical universal grammar. But he discovered that the strictly formal approach is inappropriate in various respects, in particular in its analyses of time and tense and contrasted radically with Leibniz’ dynamic, in particular with analyses of human action referring to mind and body. The study of Popper and Eccles’ book of “Self and Its Brain’ and references of new ideas of Jakobson determined a new start for the eighties. Struggle between computational network connectionism and artificial intelligence versus studies of brain architecture based led first to the priority of the former during the eighties parallel to logically based studies of lexicology. Starting with the nineties detailed studies of cognitive neuroscience were finally given priority with results presented in the book of 2010.
