[The information-energy concept of the origin of the psyche].

An attempt is made to understand the origin of psyche on the basis of natural sciences as a result of biological evolution. Organization and control of the artificial systems is based on purely informational, or formal interaction, while in the living organisms the basis is informational-energetic, or conceptual interaction. This type of interaction is the basis of self-organization of the living systems at all levels. It is suggested that the principle of self-organization is crucial for emergence of mind.
