Human Conscious Experience is FourDimensional and has a Neural Correlate Modeled by Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity
Richard Allen Sieb
Abstract
In humans, knowing the world occurs through spatial-temporal experiences and interpretations. Conscious
experience is the direct observation of conscious events. It makes up the content of consciousness. Conscious
experience is organized in four dimensions. It is an orientation in space and time, an understanding of the position
of the observer in space and time. A neural correlate for four-dimensional conscious experience has been found in
the human brain which is modeled by Einstein’s Special Theory of Relativity. Spacetime intervals are
fundamentally involved in the organization of coherent conscious experiences.
