Accordingly, the study of consciousness is based on this premise. Second, on this basis, the antagonistic hypothesis of consciousness generation was proposed. This hypothesis holds that consciousness arises from the antagonism of mature individual experiences that cannot be seamlessly integrated with the function of addressing and navigating these conflicts.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <h3> Conclusion</h3>\u0000 \u0000 <p>The antagonism hypothesis is a new concept regarding the generation of consciousness that deserves further study.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":9081,"journal":{"name":"Brain and Behavior","volume":"14 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11664041/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142876158","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
