Research reveals why AI systems can't become conscious—and what radically different computing substrates would be needed to ...

Right now, the debate about consciousness often feels frozen between two entrenched positions. On one side sits computational ...

Abstract: Discrete chaotic systems based on memristors exhibit excellent dynamical properties and are more straightforward to implement in hardware, making them highly suitable for generating ...

We tend to break things down into smaller components to make remembering easier. Event Segmentation Theory explains how we do ...

Abstract: Discrete-time Control Barrier Functions (DTCBFs) form a powerful control theoretic tool to guarantee safety and synthesize safe controllers for discrete-time dynamical systems. In this paper ...
