Constructive Study of Qualia and Consciousness

Can robots have emotional qualia? Addressing this question, we work on elucidating the correspondence between qualia structures and information structures. As part of the Transformative Research Areas (A) project on “Qualia Structurology,” we are building neural circuit models of subjective experience and frameworks based on probabilistic generative models. Joint research with IRCN at The University of Tokyo is also underway.

This doctoral project was conducted as a JSPS Research Fellow (DC2). We constructively modeled emotional development during infancy using probabilistic generative models, and computationally investigated how caregivers’ perceptual biases contribute to the acquisition and differentiation of an infant’s emotional structure. This work became the starting point of our subsequent constructive research on emotion and has developed into computational modeling of emotion and active-inference-based human-robot interaction.
