The role of information in consciousness.
Psychology of Consciousness June 12, 2023 H. Haladjian, Carlos Montemayor
Attention and consciousness process information differently, and no current theory adequately explains this distinction in informational terms. Information processed through attention is algorithmic, while conscious information processing involves neurobiological homeostatic processes. Subjectivity in consciousness can be understood through unique informational properties such as irreproducible or biologically encrypted information. These proposals could help resolve conflicting accounts of the neural correlates of consciousness and move toward a more unified theoretical framework.
