This article presents a psychophysical theory explaining how conscious perception arises from dynamic integration of stimuli, suggesting implications for understanding awareness.
This article presents a psychophysical theory of perceptual consciousness founded on the hypothesis that conscious perception emerges from a rapid and recurrent process of psychophysical integration. The proposed framework introduces a symbolic and mathematical formalism intended to describe the most elementary level of awareness, prior to semantic and contextual interpretation. Environmental stimuli are represented as elementary inputs that progressively generate psychophysical acquisitions through successive integration cycles. The model further proposes that continuous consciousness results from a succession of elementary micro-states whose dynamics are governed by attentional mechanisms.
