| Abstract: | Unraveling the neural correlates of conscious remains one of the great challenges of our time. Victor Lamme proposes that neural integration through feedback loops is what differentiates conscious from unconscious processing. Here, I review his hypothesis, focusing on the spatial scale of integration as well as the possible neural mechanisms involved. I go on to show that any theory of the neural correlates of consciousness is incomplete if it cannot account for how prior knowledge shapes perception and how this form of integration occurs. Finally, I propose that integration across moments in time is a crucial but hitherto neglected aspect of conscious perception, which creates the “flow” of conscious experience. |
