Abstract Predictive Processing theory, hotly debated in neuroscience, psychology and philosophy, promises to explain a number of perceptual and cognitive phenomena in a simple and elegant manner. In some of its versions, the theory is ambitiously advertised as a new theory of conscious perception. The task of this paper is to assess whether this claim is realistic. We will be arguing that the Predictive Processing theory cannot explain the transition from unconscious to conscious perception in its proprietary terms. The explanations offered by PP theorists mostly concern the preconditions of conscious perception, leaving the genuine material substrate of consciousness untouched.

预测处理是知觉意识理论吗？

摘要 预测处理理论在神经科学、心理学和哲学领域引起了激烈争论，它有望以一种简单而优雅的方式解释许多知觉和认知现象。在其某些版本中，该理论雄心勃勃地宣传为一种新的意识知觉理论。本文的任务是评估这种说法是否现实。我们将争辩说，预测处理理论无法以其专有术语解释从无意识到有意识的感知转变。PP 理论家提供的解释主要关注意识知觉的先决条件，而没有触及意识的真正物质基础。
