文摘1.Introduction We have defined the Conscious Turing Machine(CTM)for the purpose of investigating a theoretical computer science(TCS)approach to consciousness[1].For this,we have hewn to the TCS demand for simplicity and understandability.The CTM is consequently and intentionally a simple machine.It is not a model of the brain,though its design has greatly benefited—and continues to benefit—from neuroscience and psychology.
