Fireside Chat with Manuel Blum - Microsoft Research

["Dave Farber" <farber () gmail com>]

Thanks to major advances in neuroscience, we are on the brink of a scientific understanding of how the brain achieves 
consciousness. This talk will describe neuroscientist Bernard Baars’ Global Workspace Model (GWM) of the brain, its 
implications for understanding consciousness, and a novel computer architecture that it inspires. The Model gives 
insight for the design of machines that truly experience (as opposed to simulate) the ecstasy of joy and the agony of 
pain. It also gives a reasonable explanation of free will in a completely deterministic world.
