| summary | Unfortunately, despite explicit advertisements to the contrary, current science tends to conflate different notions of consciousness. While theories claim to target subjective experiences, they also count evidence concerning general wakefulness, cognition, and perception, as critical support. This means that most current theories are driven by severe experimental confounds. Putting theories aside, if we think about what subjective experiences really involve, I suggest that the relevant sensory representations need to be Assertoric, Relative (to each other), and thereby, Metacognitive (ARM). This kind of ARM content comes about because the brain has mechanisms that track the statistical properties of its own activities. Exercising these mechanisms is akin to applying a skill, which involves familiarity with one's own brain. Therefore, it is an implicit mnemonic process. |
