Transmission of Meaning in Brain via Qualia

The paper highlights a novel brain correlate of perception, providing a relationship between meaning and respectively the semantic notion of qualia as they appear in cybersemiotic models of information transmission. In this aim we propose a new cybersemiotic model which describes the connection between qualia (the reality of consciousness) and the physical reality of the brain. This model has two characteristics of appreciation of consciousness, one quantitative (the size), determined by the amount of information that can be integrated (stored) in a cluster (complex) of neural elements in the brain, the other qualitative (qualia), determined by causal informational relationships that are established between these elements.
