Insights from the Conscious Turing Machine - A Machine Model for Consciousness

Explore insights from the Conscious Turing Machine (CTM) model in this thought-provoking conference talk. Delve into explanations for puzzling phenomena associated with consciousness, such as the difficulty of sleeping during intense pain, the experience versus simulation of pain and pleasure, illusions, dreams, and the concept of free will. Learn how the CTM model accounts for these intriguing aspects of human consciousness and their implications for our understanding of the mind. Gain valuable perspectives from the collaborative work of Manuel, Lenore, and Avrim Blum as they present their findings on this machine model for consciousness.
