Computational Consciousness

چکیده
Every Science has a philosophy in its background and every computation has a natural phenomenon in it’s background. One of the most pronounced research domains in the recent times is study of consciousness, what we have chosen as our area of research. This field of research conglomerates both philosophy and phenomenology. Philosophy of consciousness helped to derive the scientific interpretation of it, and phenomenology of consciousness helped us to derive the computational aspect of consciousness. Scientific study of consciousness is historically being the most challenging and has a history which is prolonged to origin of human civilisation. In all age, saints, philosophers, mathematicians and scientists have expressed their depiction about consciousness as the peak of their scientific arena. In recent times, one new dimension of scientific study of consciousness has emerged i.e., phenomenal view of consciousness which is proposed to develop computational aspect of it. The present paper is the resultant of my Phd research work on computational consciousness where we have started with philosophical interpretation of consciousness in context with Vedic philosophy and derived few noble scientific definition and logical explanations of consciousness. Then, we have used the phenomenal aspects of consciousness to design a computational model of consciousness architecture. The prime goal behind the

A Computational Model of Machine Consciousness
Despite many efforts, there are no computational models of consciousness that can be used to design conscious intelligent machines. This is mainly attributed to available definitions of consciousness being human centered, vague, and incomplete. Through a biological analysis of consciousness and concept of machine intelligence, we propose a physical definition of consciousness with the hope to m...
متن کاملComputational Models of Consciousness: A Taxonomy and Some Examples
This chapter aims to provide an overview of existing computational (mechanistic) models of cognition in relation to the study of consciousness, on the basis of psychological and philosophical theories and data. It examines various mechanistic explanations of consciousness in existing computational cognitive models. Serving as an example for the discussions, a computational model of the consciou...
متن کاملMachine Consciousness: A Computational Model
Despite many efforts, there are no computational models of consciousness that can be used to design conscious intelligent machines. This is mainly attributed to available definitions of consciousness being human centered, vague, and incomplete. Most researchers give up attempts of defining consciousness in physical terms, saying that consciousness is a metaphysical phenomenon. In this paper, we...
متن کاملThe rise of machine consciousness: Studying consciousness with computational models
Efforts to create computational models of consciousness have accelerated over the last two decades, creating a field that has become known as artificial consciousness. There have been two main motivations for this controversial work: to develop a better scientific understanding of the nature of human/animal consciousness and to produce machines that genuinely exhibit conscious awareness. This r...
متن کاملAn affective computational model for machine consciousness
In the past, several models of consciousness have become popular and have led to the development of models for machine consciousness with varying degrees of success and challenges for simulation and implementations. Moreover, affective computing attributes that involve emotions, behavior and personality have not been the focus of models of consciousness as they lacked motivation for deployment ...
