A brain-inspired spoken language understanding system, comprises: a first module that facilitates the conversion of a voice input into phoneme sequences; a buffer module that facilitates the storing of the phoneme sequences until they are clustered into a first storage as one or more meaningful thought representations; a second module that facilitates the monitoring of the reasoning, disambiguation, and prioritization of the system, in addition to controlling the system; a seventh module and an eighth module that facilitate the capturing of at least one non-verbal signal from a conversation, and create at least one time-synchronized non-verbal object, with the help of a third knowledge base; a third module that facilitates the conversion of the phoneme sequences and at least one time-synchronized non-verbal object into sequences of phonetics-based words; a fourth module that facilitates the conversion of the phonetics-based words into sequences of thought representations, with the help of a first knowledge base; a fifth module that facilitates the fine-tuning of the thought representations, with the help of the first knowledge base and a second knowledge base; and a sixth module that maintains the instance of conversation as thought representations in the form of one or more connected stories. A device for implementing the brain-inspired spoken language understanding system and its method of functioning are also disclosed.
