Cosmic Consciousness3
Brain17
  • The idea first began circulating in the neuroscience community after some split-brain patients exhibited the alien hand syndrome, which led some scientists to believe that there must be two separate consciousnesses within the brain's left and right hemispheres in competition with one another once the corpus callosum is severed. (wikipedia.org)
  • It seems that most of our current thinking on consciousness is being contradicted by modern brain research, and that a new model is needed. (positivesharing.com)
  • Our consciousness is a brain-generated neurologic illusion. (medscape.com)
  • [ 1 ] In the theater of consciousness, limbic cortical order reaches a point in maturation where we have the first coalescence of the persona of self in our brain, which I call the "Authentic Being. (medscape.com)
  • It has been proposed that visual attention and consciousness are separate [Koch, C., & Tsuchiya, N. Attention and consciousness: Two distinct brain processes. (mit.edu)
  • In the remaining pages of the chapter, I present the source of the biggest challenge to the Unity Thesis: the data gathered from split-brain subjects. (umass.edu)
  • In the rest of chapter two, I consider and argue against a number of different ways of interpreting the split-brain data that are either inconsistent with the Unity Thesis or attribute more than one subject of consciousness to split-brain subjects. (umass.edu)
  • Among the views I consider are Lockwood's partial-unity view and the views, by theorists such as Sperry, Koch, Puccetti, Marks, and Tye, that split-brain subjects have two non-overlapping streams of consciousness. (umass.edu)
  • In chapter three, I consider a recent attempt by Bayne to account for the split-brain data in a way that does not attribute two streams of consciousness to them. (umass.edu)
  • According to Bayne's Switch Model, the consciousness of split-brain subjects can be likened to that of a ball that is passed back and forth between the two hemispheres of the upper-brain. (umass.edu)
  • I close the chapter by presenting the rough outline of an interpretation of the split-brain data that is consistent with both the Unity Thesis and the split-brain data. (umass.edu)
  • Near-death experiences (NDE) raise important questions about the nature of human consciousness, the relationship between brain function and consciousness, the perceptual information that is available to consciousness in moments before death, the role of physical and biological mechanisms associated with altered states of consciousness, and relationships between consciousness, space-time and phenomenal reality. (sfu.ca)
  • Challenges posed by efforts to define the NDE, claims of anomalous experiences associated with NDEs, the problem of "timing" of NDEs with respect to brain function, recent findings from neuroscience are reviewed, along with emerging evidence for quantum models of consciousness that may help elucidate the nature of NDEs. (sfu.ca)
  • Well-funded cooperative research initiatives in functional brain imaging are leading to rapid advances that will make it possible in the near future to empirically test the integral model put forward in this chapter yielding more complete understandings of consciousness including NDEs and other kinds of transpersonal or anomalous experiences. (sfu.ca)
  • Intrinsic brain activity in altered states of consciousness: how conscious is the default mode of brain function? (sfu.ca)

Self-Consciousness3

  • It is quite difficult to describe clearly in words the actual distinction between the highest forms of animal consciousness, and the lowest forms of the self-consciousness of the human being, although the difference between the highest animal and the highest man in this respect is quite marked. (sacred-texts.com)
  • A favorite illustration of the psychologists, employed by them to point out the distinction between the "simple consciousness" of the higher animal, and the "self consciousness" of the human being is stated by a writer as follows: "A horse standing out in the cold sleet and rain undoubtedly feels the discomfort, and possibly the pain, for we know by observations that the animals feel both.

State of consciousn5
  • In this and the next two chapters I defend the thesis that, necessarily, for any subject (of conscious mental states) at any time, all of that subject's conscious mental states (at that time) are part of a single, maximal state of consciousness. (umass.edu)
  • The Unity Thesis is formulated using the notion of a maximal state of consciousness. (umass.edu)
  • In informal terms, a maximal state of consciousness is a sum of conscious states that are i) simultaneous, ii) have the same subject, and iii) all have a conjoint phenomenology. (umass.edu)
  • Having presented an account of what maximal state of consciousness is, I define a stream of consciousness in terms of a maximal states of consciousness. (umass.edu)
  • Because in 2020 I went through a dozen or so awakenings, I entered a state of consciousness where I wasn't the do-er anymore, which meant "you shouldnt do this" or "you should do that" didn't make sense to me anymore because I felt like the universe was in control and not little electroBeam.

  • The Plane of Human Consciousness, as its name indicates, is that plane of conscious activity which is manifested by human beings, high and low, in varying degrees. (sacred-texts.com)
  • Conscious experience is often said to be phenomenally unified, and subjects of consciousness are often self-conscious. (umass.edu)
  • And is it necessarily the case that subjects of consciousness are self-conscious whenever they are conscious? (umass.edu)
  • In the first chapter, I set the stage by distinguishing phenomenal unity from other species of conscious unity. (umass.edu)
  • In chapter four, I turn from defending the Unity Thesis to examining an attempt to account for conscious unity. (umass.edu)
  • Rosenthal has offered a theory of conscious unity as an extension of his higher-order theory of consciousness. (umass.edu)

Processes2
  • Certain NDE features are probably explainable by neuroscience and take place in 4-dimensional space-time while other NDE features such as confirmed cases of veridical perception and other so-called "anomalous" experiences may be consistent with postulated non-local characteristics of consciousness mediated by quantum-like processes or other non-classical processes (Kafatos et al.
