The Epistemic Control Loop
In the ICEA project we are concerned with the extraction of general designs from rat brains
Consciosusness in Cognitive Architectures. A Principled Analysis of RCS, Soar and ACT-R
This report analyses the aplicability of the principles of consciousness developed in the ASys project to three of the most relevant cognitive architectures. This is done in relation to their aplicability to build integrated control systems and studying their support for general mechanisms of real-time consciousness.\ud
To analyse these architectures the ASys Framework is employed. This is a conceptual framework based on an extension for cognitive autonomous systems of the General Systems Theory (GST).\ud
A general qualitative evaluation criteria for cognitive architectures is established based upon: a) requirements for a cognitive architecture, b) the theoretical framework based on the GST and c) core design principles for integrated cognitive conscious control systems
Emotion and Metacontrol
In the ICEA Project we are concerned with the extraction of general designs from rat brains.
We are interested in designs that capture the core integrational aspects of emotion and cognition
Principles for Consciousness in Integrated Cognitive Control
In this article we will argue that given certain conditions for the evolution of bi- \ud
ological controllers, these will necessarily evolve in the direction of incorporating \ud
consciousness capabilities. We will also see what are the necessary mechanics for \ud
the provision of these capabilities and extrapolate this vision to the world of artifi- \ud
cial systems postulating seven design principles for conscious systems. This article \ud
was published in the journal Neural Networks special issue on brain and conscious- \ud
