Gelernter, Kurzweil debate machine consciousness By Rodney Brooks, Ray Kurzweil, and David Gelernter (at MIT on Nov, 30, 2006): Are we limited to building super-intelligent robotic "zombies" or will it be possible and desirable for us to build conscious, creative, volitional, perhaps even "spiritual" machines?

El Test del Espejo
El test del espejo no está específicamente dirigido como prueba general de consciencia, sino como una prueba específica de la autoconsciencia y, más exactamente, del autorreconocimiento. Normalmente se aplica a niños y algunos mamíferos superiores. El test pretende determinar si el sujeto puede reconocer su propio reflejo en un espejo. Hasta ahora, solo sujetos de las siguientes especies han superado la prueba: humanos (a partir de los 2 años), grandes simios (bonobos, chimpancés, orangutanes y gorilas), monos rhesus, elefantes, delfines, ratas y pulpos.
