Journal of Mind Theory

Rigor in Cognitive Science

The UPM Autonomous Systems Lab (AsLab) has recently launched a new journal in the field of congnitive science. The focus of the new Journal of Mind Theory (JMT) is on precise, succinct, non-interpretable theories of hypotheses on the nature of the mind. The journal is edited by Ricardo Sanz and Jaime Gómez, and the editorial board includes well known experts in the fields of cognitive science and machine consciousness.

This journal tries to capture the formal science of mind, attempting to pursue the ultimate goal of a unified formal theory of mind, but open to any proposal and not tied to a specific language.

The first two numbers of the JMT are alredy online (including papers from James Albus, Ron Cottan, Pentti Haikonen, Konrad Talmont-Kaminski, Andrée C. Ehresmann, Tariq Samad, Lorenzo Magnani, Sarah Rebecca, and others) :

- JMT Vol. 0. No. 1.
- JMT Vol. 0. No. 2.

We are specifically looking for work exploring the intersection between AGI and consciousness studies.

The focus and contents of this Special Issue are influenced by the International Machine Consciousness Workshop which was held in Hong Kong in June 2009. The workshop featured talks by AI and machine consciousness researchers on their work, as well as extensive discussion.

The deadline for submissions is January 15, 2010.  We look forward to receiving your papers ;-)

Thanks,
