How do biological brains create consciousness? This problem has troubled people for thousands of years. The secret of consciousness is that everyone has subjectivity and the ability to perceive feelings and think. Recently, some scientists have made new progress on this problem.
Human brain structure
According to CNMO, a team composed of physicists from Bar-Ilan University in Israel and philosophers from the University of Memphis in the United States first proposed the "relativity theory of consciousness" and claimed that they had solved the problem of consciousness in a purely physical way: The mystery of consciousness naturally disappears when we assume that it is a relativistic phenomenon. The research may be able to determine how, and even to what extent, artificial intelligence can become conscious. Relevant research has been published in a recent issue of the journal Frontiers in Psychology.
In order to let people understand how the theory of relativity solves this problem, the researchers gave an example of a constant speed problem. First, we select two observers A and B. Among them, B is riding on a train moving at a constant speed, while A is standing on the platform looking at B. What is the speed of B at this time? Friends who are good at physics should know that there is no absolute answer to this question, but it depends on the reference coefficient.
According to the new theory derived by the above-mentioned scientists, the brain does not create conscious experiences through calculations. The reason why we have conscious experiences is because of the physical measurement process brought about by body organs, that is, different reference coefficients show different physical properties. According to the theory, researchers believe that human sensory organs, such as the eyes, serve as measurement tools to derive measurements, which are fed back to the brain, causing activity in brain neurons, thereby proving that the brain is responsible for creating consciousness.
Artificial Intelligence
Scientists believe that the impact of this theory will be huge. It can determine which animal first became conscious in the process of evolution and when fetuses or babies became conscious. It can even determine the current or future artificial intelligence. What level of awareness the system has.
