Design for a Darwinian Brain: Part 1. Philosophy and Neuroscience
Physical symbol systems are needed for open-ended cognition. A good way to understand physical symbol systems is by comparison of thought to chemistry. Both have systematicity, productivity and compositionality. The state of the art in cognitive architectures for open-ended cognition is critically assessed. I conclude that a cognitive architecture that evolves symbol structures in the brain is a promising candidate to explain open-ended cognition. Part 2 of the paper presents such a cognitive architecture.

A Philosophical Understanding of Representation for Neuroscience
Neuroscientists often describe neural activity as a representation of something, or claim to have found evidence for a neural representation. But what do these statements mean? The reasons to call some neural activity a …
PhilosophyNeuromorphic Correlates of Artificial Consciousness
The concept of neural correlates of consciousness (NCC), which suggests that specific neural activities are linked to conscious experiences, has gained widespread acceptance. This acceptance is based on a wealth of evide…
EEGPhilosophyA Paradigm Shift in Neuroscience Driven by Big Data: State of art, Challenges, and Proof of Concept
A recent editorial in Nature noted that cognitive neuroscience is at a crossroads where it is a thorny issue to reliably reveal brain-behavior associations. This commentary sketches a big data science way out for cogniti…
Exploring Robot Morphology Spaces through Breadth-First Search and Random Query
Evolutionary robotics offers a powerful framework for designing and evolving robot morphologies, particularly in the context of modular robots. However, the role of query mechanisms during the genotype-to-phenotype mappi…
