Abstract

Conscious experience is the direct observation of conscious events. In the brain, it is structured as four-dimensional and these conscious events are linked (associated) by spacetime intervals. This may explain why conscious experience appears to us the way it does. Conscious experience is an orientation in space and time, an understanding of the position of the observer in space and time. Causality, past-future relations, learning, memory, cognitive processing, and goal-directed actions all evolve from four-dimensional conscious experience. A neural correlate of four-dimensional conscious experience is found in the human brain and modeled by Einstein’s special theory of relativity. The relativistic concept of spacetime interval might be central for understanding conscious experience and cognition.
