Consciousness absent and present: a neurophysiological exploration.
Backward masking was used to investigate the amount of neuronal activity that occurs in the macaque inferior temporal visual cortex when faces can just be identified. It is shown that the effect of the pattern mask is to interrupt neuronal activity in the inferior temporal visual cortex. This reduces the number of action potentials that occur to a given stimulus, and decreases even more the inf...
متن کاملDoes time help to understand consciousness?
In response to our target paper on the possible role of temporal binding for consciousness (Engel et al., 1999), a number of arguments have been raised that, to varying degrees and on varying grounds, doubt the validity of our approach. To facilitate understanding of the key points in the debate, we will first summarize the essential statements of our paper. Subsequently, we will respond to the...
متن کاملSlow cortical potentials and "inner time consciousness" - A neuro-phenomenal hypothesis about the "width of present".
William James postulated a "stream of consciousness" that presupposes temporal continuity. The neuronal mechanisms underlying the construction of such temporal continuity remain unclear, however, in my contribution, I propose a neuro-phenomenal hypothesis that is based on slow cortical potentials and their extension of the present moment as described in the phenomenal term of "width of present"...
متن کاملSubjective Perception of Time and a Progressive Present Moment: The Neurobiological Key to Unlocking Consciousness
The conclusion of physics, within both a historical and more recent context, that an objectively progressive time and present moment are derivative notions without actual physical foundation in nature, illustrate that these perceived chronological features originate from subjective conscious experience and the neurobiological processes underlying it. Using this conclusion as a stepping stone, i...
متن کاملTime, Space-Time, and Consciousness
In moments of consciousness as quantum jumps between quantum histories picture the basic challenge is to explain how psychological time arises: why the contents of at least sensory experiences are concentrated around definite value of geometric time and what is the origin of the arrow of psychological time. It has become gradually clear that TGD cannot reproduce the common sense conception of t...
