V An anomalous effect detector (100, 130, 300, 800, 830, 840, 900, 930) responsive to an influence of mind comprises a source of non-deterministic random numbers, SNDRN, (104, 134, 310), a phase-sensitive filter (108, 140, 170, 320), and a results interface (110, 160, 340). In some embodiments, the phase-sensitive filter comprises a complex filter (170). An artificial sensory neuron (802, 810, 820, 906) comprises a SNDRN. Preferably, several artificial sensory neurons (802, 906) are grouped in a small volume. An analog artificial sensory detector (800) comprises a plurality of analog artificial sensory neurons (802), an abstracting processor (804) and a control or feedback unit (806). Some embodiments include an artificial neural network (850). An artificial consciousness network (900) contains a plurality of artificial neural networks (902, 914). One of the artificial neural networks (914) comprises an activation pattern meta-analyzer. An artificial consciousness device comprises a cluster (936) of artificial consciousness networks, a sensory input device (932) to provide sensory input signals (933) to the input of one or more ANNs in ACD (930), and an output device (938).
