The Brain's Representational Power: On Consciousness and the Integration of M…
Although science has made considerable progress in discovering the neural basis of cognition, how consciousness arises remains elusive.

Pennartz traces the problem back to its historical foundations and…

Mind design II :
Mind design is the endeavor to understand mind (thinking, intellect) in terms of its design (how it is built, how it works). Unlike traditional empirical psychology, it is more oriented toward the "how" than the "what."
