SELF-SYSTEM IN A MODEL OF COGNITION

摘要

Abstract. Philosophers, psychologists and neuroscientists have proposed various forms of a “self ” in humans and animals. All of these selves seem to have a basis in some form of consciousness. The Global Workspace Theory (GWT) [1- 3] suggests a mostly unconscious, many layered self-system. In this paper we consider several issues that arise from attempts to include a self-system in a software agent/cognitive robot. We explore these issues in the context of the LIDA model [4], [15] which implements the Global Workspace Theory.
