It’s not a ‘stream’ of consciousness
- May 8, 2015
- An op-ed by Greg Hickok, cognitive sciences professor, is featured in The New York Times May 8, 2015
From The NYT:
In 1890, the American psychologist William James famously likened our conscious experience
to the flow of a stream... recent research has shown that the “stream” of consciousness
is, in fact, an illusion. We actually perceive the world in rhythmic pulses rather
than as a continuous flow… Gregory Hickok [is] a professor of cognitive science at
the University of California, Irvine.
