The mind machine
Article Abstract:
The foundation for progress towards computer consciousness is creating a set of neural networks that are sufficiently complex to mimic the action of part of the human brain, according to Professor Igor Aleksander. He has been working with a team at Imperial College to create the software equivalent of 250,000 neurons with 4 million connections. His system is a combination of vision and linguistic representation. It is based on the discovery that the vital element for consciousness is a feedback system between at least two modes of recognition. In humans, these are known as senses.
