Learning to Be Conscious [PDF]
Trends in Cognitive Sciences, 2020 Consciousness remains a formidable challenge. Different theories of consciousness have proposed vastly different mechanisms to account for phenomenal experience. Here, appealing to aspects of global workspace theory, higher-order theories, social theories, and predictive processing, we introduce a novel framework: the self-organizing ...

This pattern of results implies that neural computations for consciousness can be generated by nonmammalian ...
