大脳皮質モデルにおける感覚運動学習を通じた情報統合構造の変化

抄録

While certain sensation, such as vision, gives rise to consciousness frequently, sensation like proprioception, a sensation also vital to daily activities, hardly does. Conscious experience, according to Integrated Information theory, can be explained by the information structure generated by the conscious system. It is known that human's perception is influenced by the integration of sensory and motor information, which relies on sensorimotor learning. Therefore, as an explanation to the different ways of sensations giving rise to consciousness, we focuses on the relationship between sensory information and the motor information. In this study, we investigated it by simulating body as well as neural network models, then the integrated information was computed as a index of the ratio sensations giving rise to consciousness. The results show that the relationship between sensory and motor information do influence the system's integrated information. However, there may be other factors that also have an impact on system's integrated information.
