CLINICAL NEUROSCIENCE: 5-PHASE MULTIMODAL MODEL OF PERCEPTION AND PERCEPTUAL ERRORS

Introduction: Currently, several models of stimulus-response perception have been theorized, but none have integrated second-person neuroscience with neuromaladaptive mechanisms, that is, those involving social interactions. Objective: To assist in the comprehensive multiscale understanding of cognitive function and behavior through clinical insight into the sequential phases of perceptual processes of the 5-phase multimodal model of perception. Methodology: We synthesized a 5-phase model of perception, with a generative view of perception and second-person neuroscience, in a "Bayesian" computational method, which was guided by theoretical method and robust clinical empiricism. Results and Discussion: We used the adaptation and integration of some cognitive models and presented the model based on theoretical data, combined with empirical clinical observation. Conclusion: The novel model captured nuanced patterns of functioning in dysfunctional subfunctions of perceptual neurocognition, which generate patterns of negative effects on cognition and behavior, with several neurobiological mechanisms, which were characterized as perceptual errors. Currently, this set contributes to various types of social conflicts, domestic violence, parental neglect, behavioral deviations, and addictive disorders.
