ego theory
|
we are one unified self, inner self is the experiencer, changes gradually but same "me", self is continuous entity. problems: multiple personality, split brain
|
|
bundle theory
|
unified self is an illusion, only experiences linked together, there is no "someone". problem: why do we feel like there is? what is the use in this
|
|
interpreter
|
LH makes up a reason for bodily reactions even when it is not getting information from the RH
|
|
teletransporter thought experiment
|
ego vs bundle theorist, is there an inextricable link between our bodies and minds, can we replicate our bodies and still be "me", are we more than biology
|
|
NCC
|
study of neural functioning and correlate it with reports of conscious experience
|
|
binding by synchrony
|
no single area of visual consciousness but rather a combination of many areas firing at once
|
|
zeke's theory of microconsciousness
|
not one unified consciousness byt many levels of parallel processing
|
|
Multisensory integration
|
superior colliculus; more than one sensory input relating to same object are processed at one time leading to consciousness
|
|
unity of consciousness
|
unifying experiences, are one self with one conscious or are we multiple parallel streams of consciousness? how do we feel things in a unified manner?
|
|
sane vs insane automatism
|
insane = disease of the mind, sane= outside influences like stress, trama, hypnosis, drugs
|
|
Sesmets
|
Pearls, multiple selves exist like pearls on a string, no longterm continuity, selves are subjects of experience that are single mental things may be short or long, had unity at any given moment
|
|
James' Theory
|
between ego and bundle, believes in the 3 mes and an I. Mes are social, spiritual and material. I is the feeling of experiences. Thought ties it all together into unified experience
|
|
neuroscientific model
|
conscious experiences are input to executive system of neuronal processing. Brain processes give rise to the illusion of self
|
|
Dennet
|
no inner self, center of narrative gravity, self is a web of words they spin us we don't spin them
|
|
Wegner's 3 requirements
|
thought must occur before action, must be consistent with it and must not be accompanied by other causes. all leads to mislabelling
|
|
libet's study of voluntary actions
|
subject moved wrist, said what time on clock they decided and measure RP. RP first then W then action
|
|
churchland on self control
|
easier to measure/understand than free will. can understand the neurobiological profile of brain with normal vs impaired control in prefrontal cortex. related to punishment and reward
|
|
3 theories on phantom pain
|
stump nerves, spinal cord nerves, somatosensory in brain
|
|
melzack's theory on phantom pain
|
in cerebrum not somatosensory, believes in predisposed neuromatrix which senses "self"
|
|
raichle
|
used skill learning to determine NCC of consciousness
|
|
lamme
|
believes NCC can/must be found without behavioral methods, argues recurrent processing the key to consciousness, believes in multiple streams of consciousness and that it is different from attention
|
|
mackay
|
20 questions, argued that split brain are still one
|
|
gazzniga
|
two conscious streams in split brain
|
|
functions of LH
|
interpreter, language
|
|
function of RH
|
better at specific memory, still has some independence and free will
|
|
Mcsherry
|
dissociation should be defined by presence of identity confusion, derealization, depersonalization, amnesia, identity alteration
|
|
Ramachandra & Hubbard
|
cross activation thoery in synesthetics, same neural structures give rise to different feelings/qualia, super unified consciousness
|
