Phenomenal awareness arises from the brain

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Cognitive Science
  • Philosophy of Mind

Background:

  • Phenomenal awareness, the subjective experience of sensations and feelings, is a complex cognitive function.
  • Understanding its neural basis is a major challenge in neuroscience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a neurobiological model for the emergence of phenomenal awareness.
  • To explore the cognitive mechanisms underlying self-awareness and consciousness.

Main Methods:

  • Review of experimental data on neural assemblies and neuronal interactions.
  • Theoretical modeling of brain states and dynamic binding processes.
  • Analysis of reentrant loops and neuronal synchronization.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • Awareness emerges from the brain's self-analysis of cognitive processes using cortical operations.
  • Dynamic binding of neuronal assemblies represents perceptual objects.
  • Transient synchronization of neuronal discharges is a signature of relatedness within assemblies.

Conclusions:

  • Phenomenal awareness is reducible to neurobiological processes.
  • Self-consciousness, however, may be a cultural construct emerging from inter-brain communication.
