This study aimed to explore the effect of artificial intelligence-generated artwork (AIGC) as an adjunct to mindfulness meditation on the improvement of anxiety symptoms in retired people. We recruited a group of retired people with anxiety symptoms and randomly divided them into two groups: the mindfulness meditation group (N=20) and the mindfulness meditation +AIGC group (N=20). The...

The topic of this chapter are cognitive neuroarchitectures, which have been developed since the mid-eighties in connectionism as theoretical models to explain, based on empirical-experimental data, as neurophysiologically plausible as possible perceptual and linguistic performances of self-organizing neuronal networks in the human brain that are related to the binding problem. Thus,...

The problem of total mind uploading (and consciousness) is far from fully solved at present within both the scientific and philosophical paradigms. At the same time, the hypothesis that a robot clone would represent a substitute of one's own person (based on the mindclone argument) questions not only the future ontological status of robot clones (in society) but also its possible personhood...

Understanding the nature of consciousness has been an outstanding scientific puzzle at the crossroads of neuroscience and artificial intelligence. While brains have long since known to be the bearers of consciousness and machines, that of computation, the history of cybernetics has been full of attempts trying to synthesize consciousness in computational architectures. In recent years, ideas...

The authors are studying ways to create a function similar to human consciousness based on biologically inspired ideas and using an engineering approach. The authors have arrived at the idea that, “the consistency of cognition and behavior is the origin of human consciousness.” Their belief is derived from studying findings in various fields of research including information science, brain...

Science has always faced the problem of consciousness. Nevertheless, consciousness differs radically from the ordinary objects researched by science: not only because of the complexity of the neural infrastructures which are at its base or because of the subtle connections between these infrastructures and phenomena such as decision making, morals and artistic creativity, but above all because...

While adaptive systems are currently generally judged by their degree of intelligence (in terms of their ability to discover how to achieve goals), the critical measurement for the future will be where they fall on the spectrum of self. Once machines and software are able to strongly modify and improve themselves, the concepts of the self and agency will be far more important, determining not...

Despite the great interest for externalist oriented models of the mind (enactivism, the extended mind, various forms of externalism, embodiment, embeddedness), most current artificial agents are designed as though the mind “is still in the head”. In other words, in the field of AI, the prevailing view still assumes that the relevant information is processed inside the system that provides the...
