Using an analysis of a voluntary action caused by a visual perception, I suggest that the three fundamental characteristics of this perception (being conscious, self-conscious, and provided with a content) are neurologically implemented by three distinct higher order properties of brain dynamics. This hypothesis allows me to sketch out a physicalist naturalist solution to the mind-body problem. According to this solution, primary phenomenal consciousness is neither a non-physical substance, nor a non-physical property but simply the "format" that the brain gives to a part of its dynamics in order to obtain a fine tuning with its environment when the body acts on it.
通过对一个由视觉感知引起的自愿行为的分析，我提出，这种感知的三个基本特征（有意识、自我意识和具有内容）在神经上是由大脑动力学的三个不同的高阶属性来实现的。这个假设让我可以勾勒出一种物理主义自然主义的身心问题解决方案。根据这个解决方案，初级现象意识既不是一种非物理的物质，也不是一种非物理的属性，而只是大脑为其动力学的一部分赋予的“格式”，以便在身体对其起作用时，与环境获得精细调整。
