}Many current neurophysiological, psychophysical, and psychological approaches to vision rest on the idea that when we see, the brain produces an internal representation of the world. The activation of this internal representation is assumed to give rise to the experience of seeing. The problem with this kind of approach is that it leaves unexplained how the existence of such a detailed internal representation might produce visual consciousness. An alternative proposal is made here. We propose… Expand

It is argued that an ‘extensionalist’ account of temporal experience could help make sense of object experience, which is itself, plausibly, an experience of temporal duration. Expand

According to a recent approach to perceptual consciousness, the qualitative character of perceptual experience is determined by perceivers’ implicit, practical mastery of patterns of sensorimotor… Expand
Consciousness: a neural capacity for objectivity, especially pronounced in humans
- Psychology, Medicine
- Front. Psychol.
- 2014
This paper argues that neither view sufficiently acknowledges that consciousness may refer to the brain’s most adaptive property: its capacity to produce states of objectivity, and proposes that this capacity relies on multiple sensorimotor networks for internally representing objects and their properties in terms of expectancies.

The structure of sensorimotor explanation

- Synthese
- 2017
It is argued that the sensorimotor theory is compatible with a mechanistic framework, and it will be shown that the theory should be understood as an enrichment of the orthodoxy, rather than an alternative. Expand
A scientific paradigm for consciousness: a theory of premotor relations.

A theory of premotor relations provides a model for understanding how dysfunction in the basal ganglia and cerebellum relates to cognitive features of schizophrenia and autism, respectively and a component theory of motor efference copy analyzing the two key parameters of any action namely force and proprioceptive change is advanced.

The findings indicate that stimulus-evoked cortical activity occurs in the vegetative state, but tends to be limited in extent, is often restricted to primary sensory areas, and is poorly integrated with activity elsewhere in the cerebrum. Expand

Separate neural definitions of visual consciousness and visual attention; a case for phenomenal awareness
- Psychology, Medicine

- 2004
In the model proposed here, visual attention is defined as a convolution of sensori-motor processing with memory that can be dissociated from the reportable form, depending on attention, called access awareness. Expand

This target article develops and defends this connectionist vehicle theory of consciousness, which takes the form of the following simple empirical hypothesis: phenomenal experience consists of the explicit representation of information in neurally realized parallel distributed processing (PDP) networks.

It remains to be seen whether the neural signature of consciousness relates to the location of the neural activity, the temporal properties of the Neural Signature of consciousness or the form of the interaction between activity in different brain regions. Expand
Solving the "real" mysteries of visual perception: the world as an outside memory.
- Psychology, Medicine
- Canadian journal of psychology
- 1992
This paper discusses several defects of vision and the classical theories of how they are overcome, and suggests an alternative approach, in which the outside world is considered as a kind of external memory store which can be accessed instantaneously by casting one's eyes (or one's attention) to some location.

Against Direct Perception

Central to contemporary cognitive science is the notion that mental processes involve computations defined over internal representations. This view stands in sharp contrast to the “direct approach”… Expand
The neural basis of mental imagery
- Medicine, Psychology
- Trends in Neurosciences
- 1989
The view is that mental imagery involves the efferent activation of visual areas in prestriate occipital cortex, parietal and temporal cortex, and that these areas represent the same kinds of specialized visual information in imagery as they do in perception. Expand
The role of primary visual cortex (V1) in visual awareness
- Medicine, Psychology
- Vision Research
- 2000
The neurophysiological data from V1 recordings in awake monkeys are examined in light of two general classes of models of visual awareness, and it is shown that V 1 synchrony does not reflect perception but rather the horizontal connections between neurons, indicating that V1 synchrony cannot be a direct neural correlate of conscious percepts.

A strikingly large number of neurons in the early visual areas remained active during the perceptual suppression of the stimulus, a finding suggesting that conscious visual perception might be mediated by only a subset of the cells exhibiting stimulus selective responses. Expand
Mental Imagery as the Adaptationist Views It

It is argued in this paper that theorists have begun to address problems of cognitive psychology's enduring puzzle successfully and that the critical theoretical framework involves thinking of mental images as information within a cognitive system that is fundamentally adaptive. Expand
