--- abstract: "In this article we will argue that given certain conditions for the evolution of bi- \r\nological controllers, these will necessarily evolve in the direction of incorporating \r\nconsciousness capabilities. We will also see what are the necessary mechanics for \r\nthe provision of these capabilities and extrapolate this vision to the world of artifi- \r\ncial systems postulating seven design principles for conscious systems. This article \r\nwas published in the journal Neural Networks special issue on brain and conscious- \r\nness." altloc: [] chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - Ricardo.Sanz@etsii.upm.es - Ignacio.Lopez@etsii.upm.es - Manuel.Rodriguez@etsii.upm.es - Carlso.Hernandez@etsii.upm.es creators_name: - family: Sanz given: Ricardo honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Lopez given: Ignacio honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Rodriguez given: Manuel honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Hernandez given: Carlos honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2007-11-16 date_type: completed datestamp: 2008-02-25 22:48:32 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/59/41 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 5941 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/5941/1/ASLAB%2DA%2D2007%2D011.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: ~ lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:57:04 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: Autonomous Systems Laboratory (www.aslab.org) number: 9 pagerange: ~ pubdom: FALSE publication: Neural Networks publisher: Elsevier refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 29 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2008-02-25 22:48:32 subjects: - phil-mind - cog-psy - comp-sci-mach-dynam-sys - comp-sci-art-intel succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: Principles for Consciousness in Integrated Cognitive Control type: journalp userid: 7589 volume: 20
