A Mechanistic Theory of Consciousness
International Journal of Machine Consciousness 6 (2):163-176 (2014)
Abstract
Recently we proposed a theory of consciousness, the attention schema theory, based on findings in cognitive psychology and systems neuroscience. In that theory, consciousness is an internal model o...Author's Profile
