Maybe it would come down to what you see as an insight that is only possible by dismantling it. “ — Graziano Lab, op. The activity in the attention model, which is called the “attention schema” in his theory, connects the self-model to those other models. These came and went, but there was “an attention-changer thing that never went away.” My self-model developed from that thing. But our phenomenal experience of “white” is no different than our phenomenal experience of any other color. ), Mike, He saw a purpose for the attention schema itself, and a purpose for the belief in consciousness that the schema causes. Longface: Remember that we talked before about consciousness — any consciousness, mine or yours — being limited in its contents and confined to a narrow present moment. I’m a hard core pragmatist Mike, so I don’t expect you nor anyone else to “get the significance” even though you might be able to “see where I’m coming from”…. Superego_A: That approval was a sham. I’ve mentioned to him that supposedly this just means that phenomena is not noumena. Regular people: What hard problem of consciousness? The attention schema is therefore strategically vague. I didn’t notice sentience at all. Eric, Perception (The phrasing makes it sound like The Programmer invented a protocol. When you look really close, it’s just certain processes. What should we do? On white light, the point, at least to me, is that whiteness is a construction, a protocol our brain uses to represent the presence of all visible wavelengths of light. It’s true that magenta and cyan colors bare aspects of their primaries, but without knowing about how color works, would you ever really guess how that works?

The model is associated with three cognitive processes: a model of one’s own attention contributes to the endogenous control of attention, a model of the attention of others contributes to theory of mind, and the contents of these models leads to the common human claim that we contain a non-physical consciousness or awareness inside us. Reflexes The answer to my ‘why’ begins early this century, when a polymath neuroscientist, Michael Graziano, proposed that consciousness is simply the operation of the brain’s internal model of its own attention. Because the audience, including the institutions of science and academia do not see the subject as an epistemic distinction, they see it as an ontological one. 2. “The problem is that this model feels privileged, to the extent that the proposition that what it shows us isn’t accurate, is simply dismissed out of hand by many people.”. No amount of introspective study of the experience of white will reveal that. ( Log Out / Fair point; I’ll go along with white being a little different. “White is a little different because perceptually it’s the same as what our rod codes return in dim light.”. Of course Lee naturally has some problems here given his issues with the limitations of subjectivity, though for me that’s all kosher. “Let’s have a moment of silence for all those people dying for attention.” — the Internet. How might a person improve these troubled fields otherwise? Have you heard of the Attention Schema Theory? I suspect consciousness is on the same path. Likewise, any subjective phenomenon is composed of objective mechanisms. Consciousness is, in a sense, a cartoon sketch of attention. Of course, if we do draw a border around a certain set of cognitive capabilities and label them “conscious”, then for purposes of that definition, its existence (or non-existence as the case might be) would be objective. Bobbie: So, you don’t know what’s happening with you? Myself, I don’t think the concept of consciousness is so much like vitalism as it is like the concept of life. “… function of an attention schema is for social cognition — using the attention schema to model the attentional states of others as well as of ourselves. 2. (Although whether they actually manifest to them as our blue and our yellow is unknown.) Why make grand claims of “illusion”, when they might instead just say what you have, or that consciousness only exist subjectively? My performance artist friend, Omiros, would always attribute someone’s misbehavior to their wanting “attention”, an idea that made no sense to an introvert like me. Furthermore we may consciously decide to pay attention to something interesting, also given sentience based motivation (top down).
