意识的信息理论

The Information Theory of Consciousness

信息理论把意识作为信息的属性,认为意识就是整合信息,通过信息整合来衡量意识水平和意识内容。特定神经系统的整合信息量决定了意识的产生,整合信息量加上时间刻度决定了会产生什么样的意识内容。然而信息本身依赖于观察者的解释,主张能够处理信息的物理系统也具有意识会导致泛心论。虽然信息理论未能真正回答意识的主观特性难题,但提供了一种用科学方式揭示意识奥秘的建设性尝试。

The information theory of consciousness insists that consciousness is integrated information. It can measure the level and content of consciousness. The capacity of integrated information decide whether the consciousness appear or not. The capacity of integrated information added time scale may decide the content of consciousness. The information depend on observer,however,and it probably implies panpsychism. While the information theory hasn＇t really solved the problem of qualia about consciousness,it provides one constructive attempt to reveal the secret of consciousness by scientific means.
