Mahinda Pathegama

Mahinda Pathegama is a Sri Lankan born scientist and an artificial intelligence researcher-promoter who, for many years has worked for Australia and has made a number of innovations and discoveries in the field of Intelligent information systems and physiological science systems. His researches began many years ago in Australia with investigating biologically inspired artificial neural networks for figure ground separation and further into neural mechanisms for functional changes in the brain due to electromagnetic radiation. His findings were accepted in many parts of the world, especially in Australia, Japan, Ukraine, Poland and Russia. According to the published media, his expertise expands in multi-disciplinary fields that have been gifted by his education along with multiple university degrees in Artificial Intelligence, Information and Electrical Engineering, Electronic, Telecommunication and Mechatronics Engineering, up to Doctor of Philosophy. He has made a scientific breakthrough by the name of 'Frequency-Forced Digital Processing'.

= Early life =Pathegama was born in a village called Buddhiyagama situated in Weeraketiya – Southern Province in Sri Lanka on the day of March 14. This date is a famous birthday of many scientists such as Albert Einstein, Sir Alexander, Paul Ehrlich and Jan Strijbos.

Birth in the “Intelligence Village”

He spent his early life at ‘Buddhiya-gama’ (translation: ‘Intelligence Village’) where his father worked as a Village Headman under a British Government Agent in the Hambantota District.His mother was a teacher.Relevantly, at a later stage, Mahinda develops his expertise in the field of Artificial Intelligence.

Schooling from Grade 2

At the age of 5, his parents decided to enroll him for schooling in their local school where he would start school in Grade 1. He only spent a few minutes in Grade 1, and thought it would be better if he went to Grade 2, where his mother teaches. When no one could persuade him to stay in Grade 1, the principal arranged an IQ test especially for him, for if he passed successfully, he would get to skip the grade and go into Grade 2 directly, like he wanted. He succeeded it.

Work

Pathegama has researched into the possible health effects on continued mobile phone usage (see Mobile phone radiation and health). A study used a mathematical approach to further test the findings of a number of clinical studies into the health implications of mobile phone use. While some of these studies had found evidence of harm, the majority concluded that mobile phone use has little or no effect on the risk of malignant brain cancer. By studying the mechanisms of interaction between neural networks in the brain and by using artificial intelligence to simulate actions of cells, the scientists were able to study the physiological and psychological effects that the mobile phone’s electromagnetic radiation (EMR) has on the human brain. Their research concluded that brain cells are able to mitigate the harmful effects of EMR through a built in system of self protection. “The brain cells automatically counteract the aggravating forces of the radiation and are able to deflect harm by restoring a state of equilibrium” said to the media by Ozdemir Gol from the University of South Australia further explaining Pathegama's finding. “Until recently, little has been known about cell resilience. The study verifies the findings of the majority of clinical studies that have been conducted in recent years; mobile phones do not necessarily have ill effects on the human being’s nervous system” he concluded. The research will continue in the field, investigating new innovations and further testing the effects of EMR.
