Since the time of the earliest electronic computers, some have imagined that with sufficiently robust memory, processing speed, and programming, a functioning human brain can be replicated in silicon. Others disagree, arguing that central to the workings of the brain are inherently non-computational processes. Do we differ from complex computer…

One way a scientist might set about building a conscious artefact is to attempt to make a near perfect simulation of the brain of a small animal, say a mouse, and then to “wire it up” to a mouse-like robot body. In this talk I will introduce some of the technological challenges this would involve, and ask whether the resulting artefact would in fact have conscious experiences. After reviewing…
