Phenomenology and digital neural architectures.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society November 2007 Igor Aleksander, Helen Morton

A model of conscious mechanisms called Axiomatic Consciousness Theory (ACT) is used to develop a neuroarchitectural model of visual phenomenology. The result is an extension of concepts in neural systems towards phenomenal intentionality: the lack of which is a common starting point for critiques of AI. Here the argument is developed at four interacting grain levels of description and the...

PHENOMENOLOGY IN COMPUTATIONAL MODELS OF CONSCIOUSNESS

International Journal of Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence September 1, 2006 Igor Aleksander, Helen Morton

In this paper we argue that phenomenology needs to be supported by explicit mechanisms if one is to have computational models of consciousness. Computational work in this area is reviewed and a set of axioms that help to decompose being conscious into manageable concepts is evoked. This leads to a kernel architecture and a digital implementation which is shown to work in examples of visual...
