SESSION 1:

Reverse engineering the modalities of biological somatic sensors:
a. TOUCH: The design of a neuronal-circuit that is a Sensation-generating Mechanism (SgM) for itch feeling, tactile touch, tactile pain and warmth/cold feelings.
b. VISION: The design of a neuronal-circuit that is a Sensation-generating Mechanism (SgM) for the sensation of seeing a faithful reproduction of the external environment of the robot
• Solution to the inverse optics problem
• Neurobiological reconciliation with the standard model.

SESSION 2

The application of the SgM-circuit to sensorimotor control of the somatic motor system. The design of a volitional, obstacle avoiding, multitasking robot..

SESSION 3

Reverse engineering the modalities of autonomic subsystems.
a. The design of a neuronal-circuit that is a Sensation-generating Mechanism (SgM) for the subjective experience generally classified as an emotion.
b. Reverse engineering the design of an hedonic motivational system in the brain.

SESSION 4

Hearing, Speech, and the advent of humanoid intelligence

a. HEARING: Reverse engineering the modalities of the biological auditory sensors. The design of a neuronal-circuit that is a sensation-generating Mechanism (SgM) for the subjective experience of hearing
b. The advent of human intelligence: The design of the SgM for audition and sound generation: Verbalization, comprehension, and declarative memory

Taken together, these sessions are the first step in the path towards the design, development, and construction of an intelligent humanoid robot.
