2000 | Consciousness: matter becomes imagination |
p.42 | 5793 | Concepts and generalisations result from brain 'global mapping' by 'reentry' [Searle] |
Pref | p.-3 | 4922 | Consciousness involves interaction with persons and the world, as well as brain functions |
Ch. 3 | p.23 | 4923 | The three essentials of conscious experience are privateness, unity and informativeness |
Ch. 3 | p.29 | 4924 | A conscious human being rapidly reunifies its mind after any damage to the brain |
Ch. 6 | p.69 | 4925 | Brains can initiate free actions before the person is aware of their own decision |
Ch. 9 | p.102 | 4926 | Concepts arise when the brain maps its own activities |
Ch.11 | p.126 | 4927 | Information-processing views of the brain assume the existence of 'information', and dubious brain codes |
Ch.11 | p.136 | 4928 | Brain complexity balances segregation and integration, like a good team of specialists |
Ch.11 | p.136 | 4929 | Dreams and imagery show the brain can generate awareness and meaning without input |
Ch.12 | p.139 | 4930 | Consciousness arises from high speed interactions between clusters of neurons |
Ch.12 | p.144 | 4931 | Consciousness is a process (of neural interactions), not a location, thing, property, connectivity, or activity |
Ch.12 | p.152 | 4932 | A conscious state endures for about 100 milliseconds, known as the 'specious present' |
Ch.12 | p.152 | 4933 | Consciousness is a process, not a thing, as it maintains unity as its composition changes |
Ch.13 | p.159 | 4934 | Cultures have a common core of colour naming, based on three axes of colour pairs |
Ch.13 | p.167 | 4935 | The sensation of red is a point in neural space created by dimensions of neuronal activity |
Ch.13 | p.174 | 4936 | The self is founded on bodily awareness centred in the brain stem |
Ch.13 | p.174 | 4937 | Systems that generate a sense of value are basic to the primitive brain |
Ch.15 | p.196 | 4938 | Prior to language, concepts are universals created by self-mapping of brain activity |
Ch.15 | p.197 | 4939 | A sense of self begins either internally, or externally through language and society |
Ch.17 | p.210 | 4940 | Physicists see information as a measure of order, but for biologists it is symbolic exchange between animals |
Ch.17 | p.214 | 4941 | Consciousness can create new axioms, but computers can't do that |
