From Santa Fe Institute Events Wiki

Revision as of 14:25, 13 June 2014 by Goudarzi (talk | contribs)

I created this page to share and discuss our models for the emergence of consciousness from matter. Please share your models and add discussion so we can all see and think about it. We will use this page in the end to write up a summary and hopefully compare and contrast the models and discuss what properties of consciousness can be explained by what model.

Thanks, Alireza


Working Ideas

(1) Consciousness as Hyper Attractors of Brain (Alireza)

In this schema states of our mind/consciousness as attractors of the dynamics that arise from our brain. We receive sensory information that act as perturbations pushing the trajectory out of a basin of attractor and into a new basin.
