Victor Lamme
Based on his work in animals and human subjects, Victor Lamme is trying to (re)define consciousness in neural terms. In his view, the feed-forward relay of sensory information, even when reaching as far as the prefrontal cortex, is an unconscious process. Only when recurrent cortical interactions arise, conscious sensations emerge. His findings support a divide between phenomenal and access consciousness, and argue for a rich, rather than sparse, sensory landscape. His current goal is to understand why recurrent processing produces consciousness. |
