"Physicalism is the theory that mental properties are not emergent."((de Gruyter, 1992, s.14 :Can not find the book online!!! Maybe from [[library|Emergence or reduction?]])) ===== The Emergence of Consciousness ===== is a crossdisiplinary effort to come with some answers on the topic of, and hopefully a demonstration of, the [[emergence|emergence]] of [[consciousness|consciousness]] from very [[complex_systems|complex systems]]. We will talk about [[artificial_intelligence|artificial intelligence]] from a [[neuroscience|neuroscientist]] and a [[philosophy|philosophers]] viewpoint, and try to realize our theories with physical, electronic [[neuralnet|neural networks]] built by our inhouse technician and [[cog_sci|cognitive scientist]]. The objective of the project will be what kind of symbols one kan choose to represent the communication between the braincells, and how these symbols in the act of being communicated will create new aesthetic projections of the act of communication. For instance will the Audible Mind use sound as as its symbols, and in its feedback of communication, there will emerge a sound of the brain communicating. ==== Problem domains ==== * [[mind|Narrowing the problem domain - Defining the mind]] * [[biopsy|The original - The biology of the mind]] * [[a.systems.description|The copy - The rising of a new consciousness]] ==== Projects ==== * [[populist.artist|den (populistiske) kunstige kunstneren]] * [[towards.the.sun|Institute for those striving towards the sun]] * [[floral_decorations|Institute for floral decoration]] * [[audible_mind|Audible Mind]]
