Abstract Observable similarities between humans and other animals with respect to behavior and neurology, as well as considerations related to evolutionary continuity between species, underlie most opinions that animals have conscious experiences. The attempt to understand other forms of consciousness – other species of mind – may help us to understand the evolutionary roots of our own.

AbstractThe widespread use of computers and robots within research programs in cognitive psychology has stimulated interest in the possibility of machine consciousness. As a result, many unsettled issues in the philosophy of mind and theory of knowledge have been reformulated in terms of, and in turn raised questions about, machine‐oriented modeling.

The ‘explanatory gap’ (Levine 1983) refers to a gap between physical and phenomenal explanations of consciousness. I wish to show that we can take the gap on board and still go on to develop an explanation or model that is aware of and refers to both sides of this gap, similar to Varela's Neurophenomenology(1996). Also such a model may refer to both sides via the postulation of a descriptive...
