Quantum Approaches to Consciousness plato.stanford.edu Nov 30, 2004 5 facts
claimA neural correlate of a mental representation is activated when the neurons forming the assembly operate more actively, such as producing higher firing rates, than in their default mode.
claimHenry Stapp (1999) asserts that every conscious experience has a physical counterpart consisting of a quantum state reduction that actualizes the pattern of activity known as the neural correlate of that conscious experience.
perspectiveThe investigation of mental quantum features prioritizes the study of psychological phenomena as a necessary precondition for understanding their neural correlates, rather than reducing them immediately to neural activity.
claimIn Henry Stapp's model of consciousness, the neural correlate of a conscious experience can encode an intention, functioning as a 'template for action' that serves as the basis for free will.
claimThe neural correlate of a mental representation is characterized by connectivities or couplings among neurons that form an assembly confined with respect to its environment, where connectivities are weaker than within the assembly.
Theories and Methods of Consciousness biomedres.us Jan 29, 2024 3 facts
claimScientific interactionists/dualists prioritize the physics of quantum mechanics over paranormal or parapsychological evidence when attempting to synthesize phenomenal conscious awareness with its neural correlates.
claimPost-materialists attempt to account for both the objective material basis of consciousness, such as neural correlates and constitution, and phenomenal subjective experiences.
referenceTheorists in the scientific interactionist/dualist camp utilize mathematical and empirical concepts from quantum physics, including superposition, wave-function realism, the multiverse, quantum fields, entanglement, and electromagnetism, to connect the material emergence of consciousness to neural correlates or to account for immaterial substance at the quantum level.
In defense of scientifically and philosophically (not politically ... blog.apaonline.org Nov 14, 2023 2 facts
claimWhile neural correlates of content-specific conscious states, such as seeing a face, are easier to identify, the 'full NCC' remains unverified in terms of its brain location and neuroanatomy.
claimIntegrated Information Theory postulates suggest that the neural correlate of being conscious is located in a temporal-parietal-occipital 'hot zone' of the brain, which possesses the neural architecture for reciprocal projections capable of manifesting a maximally irreducible cause-effect structure.
Consciousness and Cognitive Sciences journal-psychoanalysis.eu 2 facts
claimRecent studies in cognitive science suggest that neural correlates preceding voluntary action and the role of imagination are essential to the constitution of a voluntary act.
claimPain serves as a significant qualia that vividly reveals the dimension of embodiment, and its phenomenological study provides insights into body-image and its relation to neurophysiological correlates.
Quantum Approaches to Consciousness plato.stanford.edu Nov 30, 2004 2 facts
claimSchwartz et al. (2005) outlined some indications regarding how quantum superpositions and their collapses might occur in neural correlates of conscious events.
claimThe investigation of mental quantum features is motivated by the rationale that the detailed study of psychological phenomena is a necessary precondition for understanding their neural correlates.
Critique of Panpsychism: Philosophical Coherence and Scientific ... thequran.love May 7, 2025 1 fact
perspectivePanpsychists argue that accepting panpsychism could influence scientific models by shifting focus away from neural correlates toward principles of integration and the possibility that simple systems possess glimmers of experience.
Consciousness (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy/Fall 2025 ... plato.stanford.edu Jun 18, 2004 1 fact
claimPhysicalist neural theories of consciousness must demonstrate how underlying neural substrates are identical to or realize their neural correlates.

(PDF) On the function of consciousness - an adaptationist perspective academia.edu 1 fact
claimThe dual-aspect-dual-mode framework of consciousness leads to structural and functional coherence between the mind and the brain, bridges the explanatory gap between subjective experiences and their neural correlates, and results in mundane subjective experiences.
Psychedelics, Sociality, and Human Evolution frontiersin.org 1 fact
claimShifts in affect and the neural correlates of affective processing induced by psychedelics can endure for several weeks beyond acute drug effects, according to Barrett et al. (2020).
