    "abstract": "I review the dissipative quantum model of brain and discuss its recent\ndevelopments related with the role of entanglement, quantum noise and chaos.\nSome comments on consciousness in the frame of the dissipative model are also\npresented. Dissipation seems to account for the medial character of\nconsciousness, for its being in the present (the Now), its un-dividable unity,\nits intrinsic subjectivity (autonomy). Finally, essential features of a\nconscious artificial device, if ever one can construct it, are briefly\ncommented upon, also in relation to a device able to exhibit mistakes in its\nbehavior. The name I give to such a hypothetical device is Spartacus.",
