Abstract We present a theoretical view of the cellular foundations for network-level processes involved in producing our conscious experience. Inputs to apical synapses layer 1 large subset neocortical cells are summed at an integration zone near top their trunk. These inputs come from diverse sources and provide context within which transmission information abstracted sensory input basal perisomatic can be amplified when relevant. argue that amplification enables perceptual experience makes...

One of the greatest challenges consciousness research is to understand relationship between and its implementing substrate. Current into neural correlates regards biological brain as being this substrate, but largely fails clarify nature brain-consciousness connection. A popular approach within construe correlations in causal terms: are causes states consciousness. After introducing notion correlate consciousness, we argue (in section 2) that strategy misguided. It implicitly involves an...

The present paper was written as a contribution to ongoing methodological debates within the NCC project. We focus on neural correlates of conscious perceptual episodes. Our claim is that notion, applied episodes, needs be reconceptualized. It mixes together processing related perceived contents and substrate consciousness proper, i.e. mechanisms making conscious. thus propose divided into two constitutive subnotions. elaborates distinction, marshals some initial arguments in its favour,...

The paper argues that a coherent strong Phenomenal Intentionality Theory (sPIT) needs to adopt the concept of unconscious phenomenality. sPIT is based on thesis phenomenal properties constitute intentional episodes. But if "constitutive" means without these properties, episodes break down, then this poses serious problem for so-called occurrent dilemma either preserves states, but must reject constitutiveness, or conversely, accepts constitutiveness acknowledge It argued second option – i.e....

This paper addresses an issue of periodic job shop controlling where concurrent process flows have to compete safely (i.e. being starvation and deadlock-free) for access shared system resources. A distributed flow control policy that restricts processes resources in a is proposed. The main problem reduced determining pair (a set priority dispatching rules, initial allocation belonging the persistent period flow), which can be treated as procedure. are controlled by rules guarantee steady...

The estimation of plant growth is a challenging but key issue that may help us to understand crop vs. environment interactions. To perform precise and high-throughput analysis in field conditions, remote sensing using LiDAR unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) has been developed, addition other approaches. Although there are software tools for the processing data general, no specialized automatic extraction experimental blocks with crops represent specific “points interest”. Our tool aims detect...

Even after many years of empirical and conceptual research there are underlying controversies which lead scholars to dispute identity theory. One the most influential examples is Kripke’s modal argument leading rejection claim that pain C-fibres firing identical. The aim first part paper expose Kripke does not rigorously distinguish meaning individual relata entering relation, therefore his about faultiness analogy between propositions “heat molecular motion”, “pain firing”, mistaken....

Základní principy Freudova Projektu vědecké psychologie Abstrakt: Stať se snaží analyzovat myšlenky málo známého rukopisu Sigmunda Freuda z roku 1895, v němž usiloval o nalezení biologických základů lidské psychiky. Tato práce je pozoruhodná ze dvou důvodů. Jednak představuje úvahy, které výrazně od- lišují od toho, co pro oblasti tak typické. Freud zde, až na výjimky, nezabývá psychoanalýzou či studiemi hysterii, nýbrž popisuje, by mohlo být základem...

Argumentace Tomáše Hříbka proti fenomenálnímu charakteru se opírá především o Dennettova stanoviska. Dennettem dlouhodobě preferovaná strategie při vypořádání s tímto problémem je metodologický naturalismus. Tato jistě přinesla své ovoce, zejména je-li řeč otevření skutečně kritické diskuse na téma kválií. Problém vědomí však v současnosti traktován spíše rámci materialistické metafyziky, než z pohledu metodologického naturalismu. preference má empirické, ale i filosofické důvody, nichž jsme...
