Abstract:
A theory is developed based on the premise that nonneural processes occur in the brain exemplified as spatial working memory, and is the seat of consciousness. Additionally, wave storage of spatial information, a Bose condensate to support the waves, and the location of wave storage are provided as illustrative, "existence proofs" that a coherent theory can be built along these lines in agreement with the data. The theory can be built argues on functional grounds that a nonneural spatial memory may serve a vital biological function. This article demonstrate how this same non-neural memory can bridge the explanatory gap to consciousness, in agreement with the facts. The article proposes a possible mechanism and location for the nonneural component.
