Abstract

Larry Weiskrantz has always pursued a keen interest in consciousness in humans and other animals by performing clever experiments and proposing clever ideas. In this rather idiosyncratic essay I selectively review some old and new evidence on real and apparent losses of consciousness in humans, new means that allow the human brain to expose its conscious awareness directly, and experiments on animals that may bridge their consciousness with that of humans.

摘要

拉里·韦斯克兰特（Larry Weiskrantz）一直通过进行巧妙的实验和提出巧妙的想法，对人类和其他动物的意识产生了浓厚的兴趣。在这篇相当特立独行的文章中，我有选择地回顾了一些关于人类真实和表观意识丧失的新旧证据，以及一些新的方法，这些方法可以让人类大脑直接揭示其意识，还有一些关于动物的实验，这些实验可能会将它们的意识与人类的意识联系起来。
