Modeling Working Memory to Identify Computational Correlates of Consciousness
Open Philosophy October 6, 2019 A. Reggia James, E. Katz Garrett, P. Davis Gregory
Recent advances in philosophical thinking about consciousness, such as cognitive phenomenology and mereological analysis, provide a framework that facilitates using computational models to explore issues surrounding the nature of consciousness. Here we suggest that, in particular, studying the computational mechanisms of working memory and its cognitive control is highly likely to identify...
