Abstract

In the attention schema theory (AST), having an automatically constructed self-model that depicts you as containing consciousness makes you intuitively believe that you have consciousness. The reason why such a self-model evolved in the brains of complex animals is that it serves the useful role of modeling, and thus helping to control, the powerful and subtle process of attention, by which the brain seizes on and deeply processes information.

是什么让我们如此肯定我们是有意识的?

在注意图式理论(AST)中，拥有一个自动构建的自我模型，将你描绘成包含意识的人，会让你直觉地相信自己有意识。在复杂动物的大脑中进化出这样一种自我模型的原因是，它起到了有用的建模作用，从而有助于控制强大而微妙的注意力过程，大脑通过这个过程抓住并深入处理信息。
