Abstract

In a previously presented perceptual model perception was assumed to be the result of two separate but coupled modes of consciousness, one sensory-based or outer and one memory-based or inner. Evidence was found for the assumption that the outer mode of consciousness is related to the primary projection areas of the sensory cortices. In the present paper the perceptual model is further integrated with the cognitive system while considering neuropsychological aspects. The two perceptual modes of consciousness, and one mode related to the experience of feelings, are considered to be the consciousness outlets of three functionally and physiologically distinguishable minds which cooperate or compete in the control of man's behavior.
