Cognitive Computing Research Group,
Department of Computer Science,
Institute for Intelligent Systems,
The University of Memphis and author of
Artificial Minds.
Stan is
mental father of
IDA and its successor
LIDA, both computational
implementations of
Global Workspace Theory. He is founder of the
Cognitive Computing Research Group at the University of
Memphis.
His research interests include: cognitive modeling using the IDA and
LIDA models, control of autonomous agents,
Cognitive Agents Architecture and Theory (CAAT),
“conscious” software agents,
intelligent tutoring systems,
general purpose neurocomputing, and
computability theory of neural networks.
Stan authored
Autonomous Agents as Embodied AI, and
coauthored
The LIDA Framework as a General Tool for AGI,
Is it an Agent, or just a Program?:
A Taxonomy for Autonomous Agents,
How Conscious Experience and
Working Memory Interact,
IDA: A Cognitive Agent Architecture,
Integrating Affect Sensors
in an Intelligent Tutoring System,
A Software Agent Model of Consciousness, and
An Architecture for Emotion.
He earned his B.S. in Mathematics at Memphis State University in 1959,
his
M.S. in Mathematics at University of California at Los Angeles in 1962,
and his
Ph.D. in Mathematics at University of California at Los Angeles in 1963.
He’s been listed in
Who’s Who in America since 1982 and in
