My paper “Consciousness: The Control of Quality” is now published in New Ideas in Psychology. It presents a radically simple model of consciousness grounded in perceptual control: explaining quality, experience, and behaviour in a unified way.
Access until 26/12 authors.elsevier.com/a/1m3MP,GfNq....

Thrilled to announce my paper “Consciousness — The Control of Quality” accepted by New Ideas in Psychology! 🧠
It proposes consciousness as a disruption to optimum existence, enhancing interaction with the world & fading in Flow.
