This paper proposes a brain-inspired cognitive architecture that incorporates
approximations to the concepts of consciousness, imagination, and
emotion. To emulate the empirically established cognitive efficacy
of conscious as opposed to non-conscious information processing in
the mammalian brain, the architecture adopts a model of information
flow from global workspace theory. Cognitive functions such as anticipation
and planning are realised through internal simulation of interaction
with the environment. Action selection, in both actual and internally
simulated interaction with the environment, is mediated by affect.
An implementation of the architecture is described which is based
on weightless neurons and is used to control a simulated robot.
