A theory of consciousness: computation, algorithm, and neurobiological realization.

Biological cybernetics
The most enigmatic aspect of consciousness is the fact that it is felt, as a subjective sensation. The theory proposed here aims to explain this particular aspect. The theory encompasses both the computation that is presumably involved and the way in...

Human cognition and the AI revolution.

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences
Discovering the true nature of reality may ultimately hinge on grasping the nature and essence of human understanding. What are the fundamental elements or building blocks of human cognition? And how will the rise of superintelligent machines challen...

A data-driven artificial intelligence model for remote triage in the prehospital environment.

PloS one
In a mass casualty incident, the factors that determine the survival rate of injured patients are diverse, but one of the key factors is the time for triage. Additionally, the main factor that determines the time of triage is the number of medical pe...

A Deep-Dream Virtual Reality Platform for Studying Altered Perceptual Phenomenology.

Scientific reports
Altered states of consciousness, such as psychotic or pharmacologically-induced hallucinations, provide a unique opportunity to examine the mechanisms underlying conscious perception. However, the phenomenological properties of these states are diffi...

Artificial consciousness and the consciousness-attention dissociation.

Consciousness and cognition
Artificial Intelligence is at a turning point, with a substantial increase in projects aiming to implement sophisticated forms of human intelligence in machines. This research attempts to model specific forms of intelligence through brute-force searc...

Can Artificial Intelligences Suffer from Mental Illness? A Philosophical Matter to Consider.

Science and engineering ethics
The potential for artificial intelligences and robotics in achieving the capacity of consciousness, sentience and rationality offers the prospect that these agents have minds. If so, then there may be a potential for these minds to become dysfunction...

Neural correlates of consciousness in patients who have emerged from a minimally conscious state: a cross-sectional multimodal imaging study.

The Lancet. Neurology
BACKGROUND: Between pathologically impaired consciousness and normal consciousness exists a scarcely researched transition zone, referred to as emergence from minimally conscious state, in which patients regain the capacity for functional communicati...

Cognetics: Robotic Interfaces for the Conscious Mind.

Trends in cognitive sciences
Cognetics joins the cognitive neuroscience of bodily awareness with robotics to study, control, and enhance perception, cognition, and consciousness. We highlight robot-controlled bodily perception, conscious states, and social interactions and sketc...

Sample entropy analysis of EEG signals via artificial neural networks to model patients' consciousness level based on anesthesiologists experience.

BioMed research international
Electroencephalogram (EEG) signals, as it can express the human brain's activities and reflect awareness, have been widely used in many research and medical equipment to build a noninvasive monitoring index to the depth of anesthesia (DOA). Bispectra...

Artificial intelligence and robot responsibilities: innovating beyond rights.

Science and engineering ethics
The enduring innovations in artificial intelligence and robotics offer the promised capacity of computer consciousness, sentience and rationality. The development of these advanced technologies have been considered to merit rights, however these can ...
