Abstract

This article investigates the phenomenological aspects of selves in relation to autonomous agents. Through a review of a series of neuro-robotics experiments conducted by the authorâ聙聶s group, we elucidate three different aspects of selves, namely, minimal selves, social selves and self-referential selves. Upon integrative discussions of these selves, it is suggested that genuine constructs of â聙聹authenticâ聙聺 selves may appear with criticality, which is self-organized in the iterative interplay between regression of past experience and lookahead prediction of future outcomes. It is concluded that genuine autonomy of agents likely originates from genuine autonomy of authentic selves.
