  2. Consciousness and the Brain - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness_and_the_Brain

    Dehaene reviews unconscious brain processing of various forms: subliminal perception, Édouard Claparède's pinprick experiment, blindsight, hemispatial neglect, subliminal priming, unconscious binding (including across sensory modalities, as in the McGurk effect), etc. Dehaene discusses a debate over whether meaning can be processed unconsciously and concludes based on his own research that ...

  3. Quantum mind - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_mind

    The quantum mind or quantum consciousness is a group of hypotheses proposing that local physical laws and interactions from classical mechanics or connections between neurons alone cannot explain consciousness, [1] positing instead that quantum-mechanical phenomena, such as entanglement and superposition that cause nonlocalized quantum effects, interacting in smaller features of the brain than ...

  4. Electromagnetic theories of consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_theories...

    Locating consciousness in the brain's EM field, rather than the neurons, has the advantage of neatly accounting for how information located in millions of neurons scattered through the brain can be unified into a single conscious experience (called the binding problem): the information is unified in the EM field.

  5. Higher-order theories of consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_theories_of...

    Higher-order theories of consciousness postulate that consciousness consists in perceptions or thoughts about first-order mental states. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] In particular, phenomenal consciousness is thought to be a higher-order representation of perceptual or quasi-perceptual contents, such as visual images.

  6. Consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness

    Mental processes (such as consciousness) and physical processes (such as brain events) seem to be correlated, however the specific nature of the connection is unknown. The first influential philosopher to discuss this question specifically was Descartes, and the answer he gave is known as mind–body dualism.

  7. Damasio's theory of consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damasio's_theory_of...

    Sufficiently more evolved is the second layer of Damasio's theory, Core Consciousness. This emergent process occurs when an organism becomes consciously aware of feelings associated with changes occurring to its internal bodily state; it is able to recognize that its thoughts are its own, and that they are formulated in its own perspective. [1]

  8. Models of consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Models_of_consciousness

    Sometimes the models are labeled theories of consciousness. Anil Seth defines such models as those that relate brain phenomena such as fast irregular electrical activity and widespread brain activation to properties of consciousness such as qualia. Seth allows for different types of models including mathematical, logical, verbal and conceptual ...

  9. Multiple drafts model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_drafts_model

    Daniel Dennett's multiple drafts model of consciousness is a physicalist theory of consciousness based upon cognitivism, which views the mind in terms of information processing. The theory is described in depth in his book, Consciousness Explained , published in 1991.
