ABSTRACT

I congratulate Doerig, Schurger, and Herzog for their stimulating contribution for an empirical approach to theories of consciousness. I must also admit that the excellent way Global Neuronal Workspace Theory (GNWT) I’ve contributed to since 2001 passes the test they designed may contribute to my enthusiasm (see Table 1 of their article). In this Comment, I focus on two points: highlighting a potential epistemological weakness of their approach, and proposing how GNWT can solve the ‘small network argument.’

为意识的经验理论定义硬标准很难但很有价值

摘要

我祝贺 Doerig、Schurger 和 Herzog 对意识理论的经验方法做出了令人振奋的贡献。我还必须承认，自 2001 年以来我贡献的全球神经元工作空间理论 (GNWT) 通过他们设计的测试的出色方式可能有助于我的热情（参见他们文章的表 1）。在这篇评论中，我关注两点：强调他们方法的潜在认识论弱点，并提出 GNWT 如何解决“小型网络争论”。
