Predictive models of consciousness in modern psychology

this article presents a systematic analysis of modern predictive models of consciousness in psychological science. The author of this article reviews the main theoretical approaches, including predictive processing theory, the active inference model, and integrated information theory. In this article, the author also analyzes empirical data confirming the predictive nature of conscious processes, and discusses methodological challenges and prospects for the development of this area of research. In the course of the study, the author of this article found that predictive models of consciousness represent a dynamically developing field that promises to revolutionize our understanding of the nature of consciousness. The central idea is that the brain constantly generates predictions about incoming sensory information and updates its models based on prediction errors. Despite the existing challenges, these theories open new horizons for research and practical applications in psychology, neuroscience, and artificial intelligence.
