The Attention Schema Theory: A Foundation for Engineering Artificial Consciousness
The purpose of the attention schema theory is to explain how an information-processing device, the brain, arrives at the claim that it possesses a non-physical, subjective awareness and assigns a high degree of certainty to that extraordinary claim. The theory does not address how the brain might actually possess a non-physical essence. It is not a theory that deals in the non-physical. It is a...
متن کاملPsyche, attention and consciousness
It is a great pleasure to re-launch Psyche. As the journal of the Association for the Scientific Study of Consciousness (ASSC), the mission is to provide a prominent forum for the communication of scientific efforts to understand consciousness. With ~10 neurons and ~10 synapses per neuron, understanding how the human brain can achieve consciousness is arguably one of the biggest challenges that...
متن کاملAttention and consciousness.
For the past three decades there has been a substantial amount of scientific evidence supporting the view that attention is necessary and sufficient for perceptual representations to become conscious (i.e., for there to be something that it is like to experience a representational perceptual state).

متن کاملAttention and Olfactory Consciousness
Understanding the relation between attention and consciousness is an important part of our understanding of consciousness. Attention, unlike consciousness, can be systematically manipulated in psychophysical experiments and a law-like relation between attention and consciousness is waiting to be discovered. Most attempts to discover the nature of this relation are focused on a special type of a...
متن کاملA Neurologically Inspired Network Model for Graziano's Attention Schema Theory for Consciousness
This paper describes a network-oriented model based on the neuroscientist Graziano’s Attention Schema Theory for consciousness. This theory describes an attention schema as an internal model of the attention process supporting the control of attention, similar to how our mind uses a body schema as an internal model of the body to control its movements. The Attention Schema Theory comes with a n...
