We are focusing on millions of things in any given second, and yet don’t have to assign a reactionary response unless it is something our simulation doesn’t like."I want the baby to have a monogrammed smoking jacket. This is because, like the tectum makes a kind of inner simulation of the body in terms of positioning, the cerebral cortex makes a simulation of the whole world around it, and places the brain and animal in the centre of it. A human can hear a noise and know what it is without looking or thinking at all, and still comprehend it’s meaning without thinking actively about it. A frog hears a noise, and has to focus its attention on that noise and only that noise to comprehend what it is. It’s a reactionary response, no real thought went into making the decision, and it lacks any really ability to make a prediction beyond based on what it is very currently seeing.Īnd briefly, how the cerebral cortex works in the AST, it manages not just the overt attention, but also convert attention. It basically has codes for how the move every body part, as well as what position the body parts are currently in, and compares those to whatever stimuli it is receiving from the outside world, and works accordingly. The Attention Schema theory posits that consciousness/inner awareness comes from having a cerebral cortex, which is something that popped up in the common ancestors of reptiles and mammals, meaning only those two groups, and birds, are the only ones truly are conscious.Īnyway, without the cerebral cortex, all other vertebrates, including amphibians, rely on the tectum (a part of the brain) to manage their overt attention. They kind of are, according to some theories of consciousness.
