Conscience
Gérard SabahGroupe Langage et CognitionLIMSI -- CNRS " La conscience est au psychologue ce que la gravité est au physicien : inévitable. " (Baars) Pendant de longues années, les chercheurs en intelligence artificielle et en sciences cognitives se sont gardés d'aborder le thème de la conscience, qui apparaissait comme une notion trop vague pour permettre une étude scientifique et pour fonder la cognition.

Ainsi, la Science Cognitive, vue comme la science de l'esprit, ne peut négliger les facteurs sociaux, les aspects émotionnels et la conscience. 1.1. On peut également souligner l'existence de deux types fondamentalement distincts de processus. 1.2. * Sélectivité. * Exclusivité. * Enchaînement.

The 6 Most Badass Murder Weapons in the Animal Kingdom
Pistol Shrimp's Laser Claw Do not be deceived by the small size of this creature--that lumpy shape by the pistol shrimp's head is its claw. It's specially modified to blow the shit out of its opponent by snapping shut so quickly it produces a flash of light and a blast of sound reaching 218 decibels, which science says is louder than a damned gunshot. Wait, What? The sound isn't caused by the claws snapping together, but rather a jet of water which is shot at 60 mph. Due to the, um, "underwateriness" of the action scene, a low pressure bubble is formed and the sound is created when the bubble collapses. How Badass is That? Wait, it gets weirder.
