The CODAM Model and Deficits of Consciousness I: CODAM

  • Conference paper
Knowledge-Based Intelligent Information and Engineering Systems (KES 2003)

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Computer Science ((LNAI,volume 2774))

Abstract

Deficits of consciousness, through damage or disease of the brain, require a suitable model of consciousness to understand them. Consciousness is best approached through attention. An engineering approach to attention and motor response is presented here, culminating in the CODAM model of consciousness. This is described in this first paper. Support for the presence of several of the relevant modules is discussed from data taken from a range of experimental paradigms. In the following paper, two particular paradigms (schizophrenia and neglect/extinction) are explored in greater depth.
