BV","grobid_abstract":"Age-old battle lines over the puzzling nature of mental experience are shaping a modern resurgence in the study of consciousness. On one side are the long-dominant \"physicalists\" (reductionists, materialists, functionalists, computationalists. .) who see consciousness as an emergent property of the brain's neural networks (\"brain = mind = computer\"). On the alternative, rebellious side are those who see a necessary added ingredient: proto-conscious experience intrinsic to reality, perhaps understandable through modern physics (panpsychists, pan-experientialists, \"funda-mentalists\"). It is argued here that the physicalist premise alone is unable to solve completely the difficult issues of consciousness (e.g. experience, binding, preconscious conscious transition, non-computability and free will) and that to do so will require supplemental panpsychist/pan-experiential philosophy expressed in modern physics. In one such scheme proto-conscious experience is a basic property of physical reality accessible to a quantum process associated with brain activity. The proposed process is Roger Penrose's objective reduction (OR), a self-organizing \"collapse\" of the quantum wave function related to instability at the most basic level of spacetime geometry. In the Penrose-Hameroff model of \"orchestrated objective reduction\" (\"Orch OR\"), OR quantum computation occurs in cytoskeletal microtubules within the brain's neurons and links cognition with proto-conscious experience and Platonic values embedded in spacetime geometry. The basic idea is that consciousness involves brain activities coupled to self-organizing ripples in fundamental reality. Introduction-A Burning Issue Can conscious experience-feelings, qualia, our \"inner life\"-be accommodated within present-day science? Those who believe it can (e.g. physicalists, reductionists, materialists, functionalists, computationalists) see conscious experience as an emergent property of complex neural network computation. Others see conscious experience either outside science (dualists), or believe science must expand to include experience (idealists, panpsychists, pan-experientialists, \"fundamentalists\"). These philosophical battle lines were originally drawn in ancient Greece between Socrates, who believed the cerebrum created consciousness, and Aristotle, Democritus, Thales and others who argued that mental qualities belonged to fundamental reality. Perhaps both sides were correct. Brain = Mind = Computer? The basic physicalist idea is that the mind is a computer functioning in the brain's neural networks. The current leading candidate for a computer-like \"neural correlate\" of consciousness involves synchronously oscillating feedback loops of thalamo-cortical neurons. Higher frequencies (collectively known as \"coherent 40 Hz\") have been suggested to mediate temporal binding of conscious experience (e.g. Singer, Gray, Crick and Koch, etc.). The proposals vary, for example as to whether coherence originates in thalamus or resonates in cortical networks, but \"thalamo-cortical 40 Hz\" stands as a prevalent view of the substrate for consciousness.","publication_date":"1998,,","publication_name":"Trends in Cognitive

unsolvable in other fields of knowledge. The problem chosen for this demonstration is the relationship between the brain (usually considered a part of the physical world) and consciousness (which is not something physical). This choice can be considered random given the variety of philosophical and scientific questions that can only be answered through the science of consciousness.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button" data-signup-modal="{"location":"wsj-grid-card-download-pdf-modal","work_title":"The Brain and Consciousness in Terms of the Science of Consciousness","attachmentId":71525346,"attachmentType":"docx","work_url":"https://www.academia.edu/51609870/The_Brain_and_Consciousness_in_Terms_of_the_Science_of_Consciousness","alternativeTracking":true}"><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">download</span><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">Download free PDF</span></button><a class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-wsj-grid-card-view-pdf" href="https://www.academia.edu/51609870/The_Brain_and_Consciousness_in_Terms_of_the_Science_of_Consciousness"><span class="ds2-5-text-link__content">View PDF</span><span class="material-symbols-outlined" style="font-size: 18px" translate="no">chevron_right</span></a></div></div><div class="ds-related-work--container js-wsj-grid-card" data-collection-position="7" data-entity-id="23703474" data-sort-order="default"><a class="ds-related-work--title js-wsj-grid-card-title ds2-5-body-md ds2-5-body-link" href="https://www.academia.edu/23703474/The_Nature_of_Consciousness">The Nature of Consciousness</a><div class="ds-related-work--metadata"><a class="js-wsj-grid-card-author ds2-5-body-sm ds2-5-body-link" data-author-id="39905200" href="https://retired.academia.edu/gunnarreichbornkjennerud">gunnar reichborn-kjennerud</a></div><p class="ds-related-work--abstract ds2-5-body-sm">The present article, The Nature of Consciousness, relates consciousness to brain activity without assuming consciousness to be a brain process capable of affecting other brain processes. Consciousness is assumed to be a pure passively emergent epiphenomenon automatically accompanying certain neural brain processes and having no influence on those processes. Consciousness simply being how we perceive sensations from outside and inside our body, including brain processes like thinking. This is in contrast to existing theories of consciousness, which considers consciousness to be a brain process capable of affecting neural brain processes, and even orchestrating major functions of the brain. It is suggested that this notion of consciousness, being able to affect brain processes, is an illusion resulting from consciously and continuously perceiving brain thought processes and erroneously getting the impression that consciousness is governing those thought processes while all the time failing to distinguish brain generated constructs from the conscious perception of them. The present notion of consciousness, being a purely passive epiphenomenon, furthermore shows promise of throwing light on the Mind-Body problem, settling the question of free will, explaining the nature of a self, and showing its relation to evolution.</p><div class="ds-related-work--ctas"><button class="ds2-5-text-link ds2-5-text-link--inline js-swp-download-button"
