Mapping Neural Theories of Consciousness onto the Common Model of Cognition
This work provides an integrative mapping for researchers in cognitive science and AI, but it is incremental as it builds on existing models without new empirical results.
The paper tackled the problem of aligning neural theories of consciousness with the Common Model of Cognition, revealing that four theories depend on recurrent local modules and a cognitive cycle operating on global working memory with complex states.
A beginning is made at mapping four neural theories of consciousness onto the Common Model of Cognition. This highlights how the four jointly depend on recurrent local modules plus a cognitive cycle operating on a global working memory with complex states, and reveals how an existing integrative view of consciousness from a neural perspective aligns with the Com-mon Model.
