How to Make a Mind tells the reader how he or she may equip a robot with a central control system that could enable it to behave precisely like a healthy mature human being. The book is intended for the general reader, who is engaged directly, with a minimum of technical jargon. At the same time, How to Make a Mind sets out a dazzling array of original ideas that will both excite and enrage subject-matter experts in the fields of artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and the philosophy of science.
