http://www.scholarpedia.org/article/Models_of_consciousness Summary Because consciousness is a rich biological phenomenon, it is likely that a satisfactory scientific theory of consciousness will require the specification of detailed mechanistic models. The models of consciousness surveyed in this article vary in terms of their level of abstraction as well as in the aspects of phenomenal experience that they are proposed to explain. At present, however, no single model of consciousness appears sufficient to account fully for the multidimensional properties of conscious experience. Moreover, although some of these models have gained prominence, *none has yet been accepted as definitive, or even as a foundation upon which to build a definitive model.* !philipthrift -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
