  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. Christof Koch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christof_Koch

    Koch's primary collaborator in the endeavor of locating the neural correlates of consciousness was the molecular biologist turned neuroscientist, Francis Crick, starting with their first paper in 1990 [14] and their last one, that Crick edited on the day of his death, July 24, 2004, on the relationship between the claustrum, a mysterious ...

  4. Consciousness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consciousness

    Representation of consciousness from the 17th century by Robert Fludd, an English Paracelsian physician. Consciousness, at its simplest, is awareness of internal and external existence. [1] However, its nature has led to millennia of analyses, explanations, and debate by philosophers, scientists, and theologians.

  5. Bicameral mentality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicameral_mentality

    The neurological model in The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind is a radical neuroscientific hypothesis that was based on research novel at the time, mainly on Michael Gazzaniga's split-brain experiments [9] [10] and left-brain interpreter theory.

  6. 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]

  7. Holonomic brain theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holonomic_brain_theory

    Holonomic brain theory is a branch of neuroscience investigating the idea that consciousness is formed by quantum effects in or between brain cells. Holonomic refers to representations in a Hilbert phase space defined by both spectral and space-time coordinates. [ 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. Global workspace theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Workspace_Theory

    Stanislas Dehaene extended the global workspace with the "neuronal avalanche" showing how sensory information gets selected to be broadcast throughout the cortex. [12] Many brain regions, the prefrontal cortex, anterior temporal lobe, inferior parietal lobe, and the precuneus all send and receive numerous projections to and from a broad variety of distant brain regions, allowing the neurons ...
