M. Kinsbourne, SEPTOHIPPOCAMPAL COMPARATOR - CONSCIOUSNESS GENERATOR OR ATTENTION FEEDBACK LOOP, Behavioral and brain sciences, 18(4), 1995, pp. 687-688
As Gray insists, his comparator model proposes a brute correlation onl
y - of consciousness with septohippocampal output. I suggest that the
comparator straddles a feedback loop that boosts the activation of nov
el representations, thus helping them feature in present or recollecte
d experience. Such a role in organizing conscious contents would trans
cend correlation and help explain how consciousness emerges from brain
function.
