lecture 8: attention, Stimuli compete based on their inherent properties,…

- - - - Visible stimuli show higher connectivity between the FFA and other brain regions
    - - V1, V5/MT, and parietal cortex
  - - - dichoptic fusion experiments
        
        Fusiform Face Area (FFA) still processes unseen faces
- - - - priority maps
        
        Frontal Eye Fields (FEF)
      - Bottom-Up Salience
        
        Visual cortex, SC, PPC
        
        motion
        
        brightness
      - Top-Down control
        
        expectations
        
        Frontal + Parietal cortex
        
        goals
      - Statistical Learning (VSL)
        
        The medial temporal lobe (MTL) and hippocampus
    - - object-based
        
        Conscious attention: your brain often selects whole objects, not just locations or features.
      - featured-based
        
        Access consciousness: Directing attention toward specific attributes of a stimulus
      - spatial
        
        Phenomenal consciousness: Focusing mental resources on a specific location in the visual field or environment
      - multi-model
        
        Self-awareness: Coordinating attention across multiple senses (e.g., integrating visual and auditory information).
- - - - Access consciousness
        
        Available for reasoning, reporting, and control (“global ignition/recurrence”)
      - Self-awareness
        
        Recognizing yourself as having mental states
      - Phenomenal consciousness
        
        Subjective experience of sensations (e.g., how red feels) (local recurrence)
      - Conscious Attention
        
        The overlap of being aware of and focusing on a stimulus
    - - predictive processing theory
        
        when perception is constructed from predictions
      - Global workspace theory (GWT)
        
        when information is globally shared in the brain
      - Recurrent Processing Theory (RPT)
        
        when sensory areas send feedback to themselves
      - inegrated information theory (IIT)
        
        when information is highly integrated into one system
    - - Dennit/Frankish
        
        Illusionism: Subjective experience is an illusion created by cognition (no pineal gland needed)
      - Chalmers
        
        The hard problem: why physical processes produce subjective experiences
      - Goff
        
        Panpsychism: The theory that all matter possesses the property of consciousness.
      - Nagel
