*PRESENTATION

I am a 25 Watt bio-computer. What are the hacks that make us who we are?

Many of us would like to transfer the mind to a machine, or we would like to create general machine intelligence.

I will discuss several of the mechanisms that implement some of the most significant functions of the mind.

Sensing, acting, learning, our experience in time and intelligent thought, in their general and theoretical form present an immense computational burden.

The neuroscientific insights at the core of the computational models I present reveal to us how our dearest emergent capabilities can be achieved by feasible functions in a 25 Watt bio-computer.
