Aron Gurwitsch's theory of the structure and dynamics of consciousness has much to offer contemporary theorizing about consciousness and its basis in the embodied brain. On Gurwitsch's account, as we develop it, the field of consciousness has a variable sized focus or "theme" of attention surrounded by a structured periphery of inattentional contents. As the field evolves, its contents change their status, sometimes smoothly, sometimes abruptly. Inner thoughts, a sense of one's body, and the physical environment are dominant field contents. These ideas can be linked with (and help unify) contemporary theories about the neural correlates of consciousness, inattention, the small world structure of the brain, meta-stable dynamics, embodied cognition, and predictive coding in the brain.
阿伦·古尔维奇关于意识的结构与动力学理论，能为当代有关意识及其在具身化大脑中的基础的理论化研究提供诸多见解。按照我们对古尔维奇理论的阐释，意识场有一个大小可变的注意力焦点或“主题”，其周围环绕着由未被注意的内容构成的结构化边缘区域。随着意识场的演变，其内容会改变自身状态，有时变化平稳，有时则较为突然。内心想法、身体感觉以及物理环境是意识场的主要内容。这些观点能够与当代关于意识的神经关联、注意力不集中、大脑的小世界结构、亚稳定动力学、具身认知以及大脑中的预测编码等理论相联系（并有助于将这些理论统一起来）。
