Morsella et al. assert that the function of consciousness is to determine which of many competing action options is expressed through the skeletomuscular system at any given moment. The present commentary addresses this issue from the first-person perspective and agrees with Morsella and colleagues, yet further proposes that the option-selection function of consciousness plays out in cognition as well.
莫斯拉等人认为,意识的功能是决定在任何给定时刻,众多竞争的动作选项中哪一个通过骨骼肌肉系统表现出来。本评论从第一人称的角度探讨了这个问题,同意莫斯拉等人的观点,但进一步提出,意识的选择功能在认知中也有体现。
