This re-materializing of energy is argued to mediate the relationship between the inconspicuous everyday activity and its energy use, such that "invisible energy becomes connected to a more considered frame of consciousness" (Burgess & Nye, 2008, p. 4458).
In the words of Franklin et al. [8], "conscious events occur as a sequence of discrete, coherent episodes separated by quite short periods of no conscious content" (see also [52]) - similar to the frames of a movie, the 'frames' of consciousness are discrete but are experienced as being continuous (although this analogy is not entirely accurate).
To improve our earlier movie analogy, the 'frames' of consciousness in the LIDA model could be compared to a movie shown on a phosphor-based electronic display (CRT): although the frames are discrete, new images on the screen contain past information (see Figure 3).
Such a study would be very difficult to perform because within the time frame the level of consciousness could be kept reliably stable in critically ill patients most health-care workers would not forget their previous scoring result.
But it's at those moments that I become briefly conscious of what I actually am — a fleeting entity stripped of ego and history in an evanescent present, like a man running in frames of celluloid, his consciousness flickering from one instant to the next.
Deeply influenced by Henry James, Wright uses a melodramatic plot as the frame for an exploration of consciousness.
Many other neuroscientists, such as Christof Koch, have explored the neural basis of consciousness without attempting to frame all-encompassing global theories.
Call it stream-of-consciousness shopping.
From the dawn of consciousness, we've been trying to frame, in everything from creation mythology to zoological parks, the simultaneous sense of kinship with and irreparable separateness from animals that our consciousness calls to mind.
This includes advancing a diversity and inclusion imperative that invades and guides our collective consciousness and moral frames of reference.
