DRAFT: Modular Representations of Cognitive Phenomena in AI, Psychology and Neuroscience (in HTML or PDF). Expected to appear in Visions of Mind, Darryl Davis ed. Updated December 2003

Language Isn't Quite That Special (HTML). Commentary on The cognitive functions of language by  Peter Carruthers, both in Behavioral & Brain Sciences (BBS). Updated 10 Dec, 2002.

Embodiment vs. Memetics: Does Language Need a Physical Plant? from the Proceedings of the Workshop on Developmental Embodied Cognition (DECO 01). I describe my model of how language connects to modular embodied intelligence in nature, and what this implies for AI. Just a position/review paper, no novel results, but good fun. Updated October, 2001

Modularity and Design in Reactive Intelligence in pdf (postscript), with Lynn Andrea Stein. From IJCAI 2001. A 6 page summary of my dissertation, including a description of BOD, differences between reactive agent architectures, and an overly brief example of using BOD. (Final from April 10, 2001.)

This text brings together a number of perspectives on issues realted to complete synthetic minds with contributions from leading figures in the area. It follows in the tradition of Computers and Thought (1963), Mind Design (1981), Architectures for Intelligence (1988) and Android Epistemology (1989).

ESF-Funded Workshop on 'Models of Consciousness' Birmingham Sept 2003

This workshop was funded by the European Social Fund and organised by Ricardo Sanz, Ron Chrisley and Aaron Sloman.
The web site includes information about attendees and abstracts of presentations. There is the official report on the workshop in PDF format, Duplicated here, and a Summary presentation by Ron Chrisley, duplicated in PDF here.

Following the workshop, Aaron Sloman prepared new versions of these slide presentations on topics discussed at the workshop.
