Evolutionary Pressures for Perceptual Stability and Self as Guides to Machine Consciousness
The currently leading cognitive theory of consciousness, Global Workspace Theory (Baars 1988, 2003), postulates that the primary functions of consciousness include a global broadcast serving to recruit internal resources with which to deal with the current situation and to modulate several types of learning.

The scenario is based on evolutions of representations and of inter-subjectivity that could have taken place within the minds of our p...

The language used to describe sensory and perceptual consciousness is worthy of about the same level of trust. One must adapt oneself to the fact that every ordinary word used to describe this domain is ambiguous; that different theo...
