Integrating consciousness
Cognitive science has largely assumed we can understand the mind without taking consciousness into account. From an evolutionary perspective, this is not a plausible assumption. The sophisticated display of multiple types of information characteristic of consciousness could not have evolved unless these display formats were functionally integrated into the mind's information processing system. ...
متن کاملMulti-Modal Stimulation, Response Time, and Presence
Multi-modal virtual environments succeed better, than single-channel technologies, in creating the 'sense of presence'. We hypothesize that the underlying cognitive mechanism is related to a faster mental processing of multimodal events. Comparing reaction time in uni-modal, bimodal and tri-modal events, we show that the processing speed is: uni-modal > bi-modal > tri-modal. Given this advantag...
متن کاملBy Ladan Shams
It is clear that the information processed by the different sensory modalities are integrated into a coherent multisensory percept by the brain. However, it is not known how, nor at what level of processing, nor where in the brain this integration takes place. As a result, it is also not clear whether the combination of signals from different modalities occurs prior to or following conscious se...
متن کاملMicrosaccade-rate indicates absorption by music listening
The power of music is a literary topos, which can be attributed to intense and personally significant experiences, one of them being the state of absorption. Such phenomenal states are difficult to grasp objectively. We investigated the state of musical absorption by using eye tracking. We utilized a load related definition of state absorption: multimodal resources are committed to create a uni...
متن کاملConsciousness and Commonsense Critics in Cognitive Architectures: Case Study of Society of Mind Cognitive Architecture
The research identifies the concepts of consciousness and commonsense. It also investigates and demonstrates how consciousness level of an agent and its common sense reasoning abilities can improve the performance and intelligence using SMCA (Society of Mind Cognitive Architecture) as a case study. Consciousness is a sense of awareness about oneself and the surroundings in which the animal or h...
