Explore the Conscious Turing Machine (CTM), a theoretical model of consciousness inspired by Alan Turing's computer model and Bernhard Baars' Global Workspace theory, in this 20-minute conference talk. Delve into how the CTM might experience phenomena associated with consciousness, including blindsight, inattentional blindness, change blindness, illusions, dreams, and free will. Gain insights into the potential mechanisms behind these experiences, while acknowledging that this model may not directly reflect human consciousness. Examine the presentation's structure, covering introduction, concept, underlying mechanisms, uptree, predictive dynamics, and a "whodunit" analysis.
