Robot Science Discussion on the Onset of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID)

Abstract

This study proposes a consciousness model that simulates the onset process of the symptoms of Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) using a conscious system constructed with Module of Nerves for Advanced Dynamics (MoNAD) consciousness modules. This paper discusses the possibility of employing the conscious system under development in order to promote a better understanding of severe human metal disorders such as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and DID. We considered the symptoms of DID to be a problem of what is called "self-dispersion" in robot science, and developed a program with which we believe it will become possible to grasp the development process of DID more objectively.
