That a discrimination creates an information.
So what makes it become conscious?
And then we have to finish the sentence somehow.
Yeah.
All right, so information becomes conscious, this is DNN if the neural population that represented is mobilized by top down number three, attentional amplification into a brain scale state of coherent activity that involves many neurons distributed throughout the brain.
Uh the long distance connectivity of these workplace neurons can, if they're active for minimal duration.
All right, so then this three, attentional amplification into a brain state of coherent activity.
His comment on that, we should be careful not to take the term top down too literally.
Since there's no s single organizational summit to the brain.
Right, this is his whole multiple drafts model.
It's not that the brain is being ordered organized by a homunculus.
It is it's a bunch of little homunculi doing their own pre programmed things.
There is no simple s signal organizational summit to the brain, and means only that such attentional amplification is not just modulated bottom up by features internal to the processing stream in which it rides, but also by sideways influences from competitive, cooperative, collateral activities whose emergent net result is what we may lump together and call top down influence.
In an arena of opponent processes, as in a democracy, the top is distributed, not localized.
Nevertheless, among the various competitive processes there are important bifurcations or thresholds that can lead to strikingly different sequels, and it is these differences that best account for our pre theoretical intuitions about the difference between conscious and unconscious events in the mind.
If we are careful we can use top down as an innocent illusion.
Alusion with an A.
illusion, an image up exploiting a vivid fossil trace of a discarded Cartesian theory, to mark the real difference that that theory misdescribed.
Yep.
Yeah, he always makes allusions to natural selection and you know, it's as if organisms are being selected for in a top down way, as if somebody's saying, You are the most fit and I'm killing off everybody else but of course that's does we don't need a top down, uh wrathful god uh
