Being in time : dynamical models of phenomenal experience

Contributor(s): Language: English Series: Advances in consciousness research [AiCR] | / edited by Maxim I. Stamenov ; v. 88Publication details: John Benjamins Publishing 2012 AmsterdamDescription: xvi, 261pISBN:
  • 9789027213549
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 153 B396
Summary: Given that a representational system's phenomenal experience must be intrinsic to it and must therefore arise from its own temporal dynamics, consciousness is best understood ― indeed, can only be understood ― as being in time. Despite that, it is still acceptable for theories of consciousness to be summarily exempted from addressing the temporality of phenomenal experience. The chapters comprising this book represent a collective attempt on the part of their authors to redress this aberration. The diverse treatments of phenomenal consciousness range in their methodology from philosophy, through surveys and synthesis of behavioral and neuroscientific findings, to computational analysis. This collection's broad scope and integrative approach, characterized by the view of the brain as a dynamical system that computes the mind's representation space, will be of interest to researchers, instructors, and students in the cognitive sciences wishing to acquaint themselves with the current thinking in consciousness research.
