Quick takeaways

Consciousness is not reality itself but a mechanism for subjective experience (Perceptual Reality Monitoring).

A centrist view integrating extreme local and global approaches is needed for understanding consciousness.

Challenging the global workspace theory, Perceptual Reality Monitoring offers a centralized perspective on conscious experience.

Deep dives

Low's Proposal on Consciousness and Reality Monitoring

Low proposes that reality monitoring is the mechanism by which subjective experience is obtained, emphasizing that consciousness is not reality itself, but the mechanism through which subjective experience is obtained. He suggests that the brain's mechanistic process responsible for subjective experience turns out to be the circuit for reality monitoring, introducing the Perceptual Reality Monitoring theory.

Brain Science Podcast - Episode 200

3min

This month's episode of Brain Science is an interview with Hakwan Lau, author of In Consciousness we Trust: The Cognitive Neuroscience of Subjective Experience. Lau talks about shortcomings in current theories about how the brain generates consciousness, but he also introduces something he calls perceptual reality monitoring.

Although this is a somewhat technical discussion it is accessible to listeners who are new to the neuroscience of consciousness.
