Abstract
Computer science and psychology can come together by resolving the problem of consciousness. We can think of functional models which attempt to copy the properties of the human consciousness or evolutionary models that try to formulate the basic concepts and let more complex qualities emerge from them. Basically, there are no fundamental obstacles hindering us from modelling consciousness in silico.
