摘要

在我们的经验中,最重要的是我们拥有统一意识经验的直觉。然而,许多观察结果却与这一直觉背道而驰:当我们面对两种有吸引力的行为选择时,我们会陷入瘫痪般的犹豫不决;我们会同时持有相互矛盾的信念;我们的思维内容往往以内部争论为特征。在这里,我们提出了 "嵌套观察者视窗(NOW)模型",这是一个分层意识框架,在这个框架中,大脑在多个时空尺度上处理的信息都会反馈到主观体验中。该模型将思维比作嵌套马赛克瓷砖的层次结构--图像由马赛克瓷砖组成,而每个马赛克瓷砖本身也是由马赛克瓷砖组成的图像。单元意识存在于这个嵌套层次结构的顶点,在这里,感知建构被完全整合,复杂的行为通过抽象命令启动。我们将观察者窗口定义为一个空间和时间上受限的系统,在这个系统中,信息得到整合,例如在大脑功能区和神经元中。电活动信号分析的三个原则描述了嵌套层次结构,并产生了可检验的预测。首先,嵌套的观察者窗口通过跨频率耦合在时空尺度上传播信息。其次,观察者窗口具有高度的内部同步性(相位滞后为零)。第三,同一时空层面的观察者窗口通过一致性(非零相位滞后)相互共享信息。NOW 模型的理论框架解释了广泛的主观体验,是整合著名意识理论的新方法。

Hierarchical consciousness: the Nested Observer Windows model.

Foremost in our experience is the intuition that we possess a unified conscious experience. However, many observations run counter to this intuition: we experience paralyzing indecision when faced with two appealing behavioral choices, we simultaneously hold contradictory beliefs, and the content of our thought is often characterized by an internal debate. Here, we propose the Nested Observer Windows (NOW) Model, a framework for hierarchical consciousness wherein information processed across many spatiotemporal scales of the brain feeds into subjective experience. The model likens the mind to a hierarchy of nested mosaic tiles-where an image is composed of mosaic tiles, and each of these tiles is itself an image composed of mosaic tiles. Unitary consciousness exists at the apex of this nested hierarchy where perceptual constructs become fully integrated and complex behaviors are initiated via abstract commands. We define an observer window as a spatially and temporally constrained system within which information is integrated, e.g. in functional brain regions and neurons. Three principles from the signal analysis of electrical activity describe the nested hierarchy and generate testable predictions. First, nested observer windows disseminate information across spatiotemporal scales with cross-frequency coupling. Second, observer windows are characterized by a high degree of internal synchrony (with zero phase lag). Third, observer windows at the same spatiotemporal level share information with each other through coherence (with non-zero phase lag). The theoretical framework of the NOW Model accounts for a wide range of subjective experiences and a novel approach for integrating prominent theories of consciousness.
