"It is commonplace for both philosophers and cognitive scientists to express their allegiance to the\n\"unity of consciousness\". This is the claim that a subject’s phenomenal consciousness, at any one\nmoment in time, is a single thing. This view has had a major influence on computational theories\nof consciousness. In particular, what we call single-track theories dominate the literature,\ntheories which contend that our conscious experience is the result of a single consciousness-making\nprocess or mechanism in the brain. We argue that the orthodox view is quite wrong:\nphenomenal experience is not a unity, in the sense of being a single thing at each instant. It is a\nmultiplicity, an aggregate of phenomenal elements, each of which is the product of a distinct\nconsciousness-making mechanism in the brain. Consequently, cognitive science is in need of a\nmulti-track theory of consciousness; a computational model that acknowledges both the\nmanifold nature of experience, and its distributed neural basis.\n"^^ .
