Neuroscience of Consciousness 2025 Ryota Kanai, Ryota Takatsuki, Ippei Fujisawa
In this study, we explore how the notion of meta-representations in higher-order theories (HOT) of consciousness can be implemented in computational models. HOT suggests that consciousness emerges from meta-representations, which are representations of first-order sensory representations. However, translating this abstract concept into a concrete computational model, such as those used in...
