SITE STILL UNDER CONSTRUCTION
These items are in no particular order.
A site at the City University of Hong Kong with useful, brief
annotations on numerous references:
http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/humftp/Philosophy/Bibliographies/Phil_Mind/philmind.bib
Many papers there are about the symbolic/connectionist controversy, which
this course will not get into.
Great site for intro information on the whole range of AI topics,
including "the future", "cognitive science", etc.:

Thomas Metzinger has a philosophically-oriented bibliography (ending at 2001) at http://sammelpunkt.philo.at:8080/archive/00000262/01/ConsciousnessBib.pdf
Boston Globe interviews Marvin Minsky on book The Emotion Machine:

Stuart Russell & Peter Norvig (authors of the bestselling AI text)
have compiled an "AI on the Web" directory.
See
http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/ai.html for many interesting pointers.
Aaron Sloman has hundreds of his and his collaborators' papers listed at
the site below, and many are concerned with things like, ``what would it take
to build a human-like mind?", ``Can a goldfish miss its mother?", "Can a
machine love?", etc.:

He's not always right, but always fun!

fmri's for telling when someone is going to add or subtract, before they
"decide" to do it (thanks to Ben Van Durme for the pointer):
http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/story/0,,2009217,00.html
The study revealed signatures of activity in a marble-sized part
of the brain called the medial prefrontal cortex that changed when
a person intended to add the numbers or subtract them.
SITEPAL used to offer animated heads here for $16/month.
(Fun if one is trying to build a "talking head"!)

But Ben Van Durme points out that the site has vanished, and now the following
site is offering a new version of the VHost head. It's an order of magnitude
better -- and 3 orders of magnitude more expensive! It's time to start
scouting for freeware...
