“…The phenomenon of s eeing is experiencing is founded on the maxims of visual perceptions, which leads to cognitive reasoning and developing perceptions on the visual objects. The visual data is analyzed within internal neural space (Jerath et al , 2018), forms perceptual images and drives cognitive reasoning (Thompson and Markovits, 2021) through perceptual motions. The theories of visual perceptions (Jerath et al , 2018) argue that the visual objects are perceived through neural networks (Jerath et al , 2016) and cognitive brain imaging (McCabe and Castel, 2008) to develop contextual semantics and decision-making by the subjects.…”

Purpose The principal purpose of this study is to analyze the consumer emotions on virtual merchandising in the context of social consumption ecosystem driven by value and lifestyle across the big middle consumer segment. Design/methodology/approach The qualitative information has been collected from 114 respondents selected through snowballing technique within the metropolitan area of Mexico City. A semi-structured research instrument was used to conduct the in-depth interviews online. Findings The results of the study indicate that technology-led virtual merchandising stimulates arousal and merriment among consumers, which converges the self-image congruence and appearance similarity. The subjects of the study have endorsed that visual stimulus leading to self-image and body image congruence develop consistent arousal and merriment, which lead to positive purchase intentions and buying decisions and inculcate the perception as seeing is experiencing. Research limitations/implications The samples drawn for this study may also limit the possibilities of generalization of the study results and map the consumer behavior in a predetermined pattern. Practical implications This study is founded on the theoretical maxims of theory of visual perceptions, cognitive theory of reasoning, theory of appearance and reality and Heider’s balance theory and contributes to these theories by explaining the relationship between the social self-concept and self-image congruence. Social implications Firms retailing online fashion apparel should also be engaged in developing user-generated contents through communications on social media encouraging experiential videos, slogans and reviews. Originality/value This paper significantly contributes to theoretical and practical implications on virtual shopping, emotions and beliefs and consumption culture.

“…These oscillations are the foundation of visual perception, and are required for additional processing to occur. This foundation which creates the dark visual space allows the contents of the external space to automatically be focused on the discs, allowing advanced visual perception to take place [5]. site and "views" these as proxies of external space, objects, music, etc.…”

“…We have proposed that visually associated cortices such as the striate cortex power the horizontal and amacrine cells of the retina through the retino-geniculo-cortical oscillations, allowing the retina to quickly processes, amplify, and filter incoming visual stimuli [2]. Based on informational analysis of retinal and thalamic action potentials [38] [39], we have proposed that ~93% of visual information present on the retina originates from cortical areas responsible for memory, spatial, executive, and many other functions [5]. These cortical areas transmit information on depth, space, location, distance, color, and motion to the retina via lateral inhibition [2].…”

“…The advances we have made in the theory provide insight into some of the top mysteries of neuroscience such as the true nature of sleep and baseline neural activity. Strong advancements of the default space theory include the explanation of previously described human physiology to illustrate the functional role of lateral inhibition in the sensory organs [2] [3], the role of graded membrane potentials and respiration in powering consciousness [4], the calibration of space and motion with photoreceptors [5], how we perceive the external world, and other developing concepts. The survey we provide in this article will allow those familiar with the foundations of the default space model to review how it has grown, however, those just learning of the model will be able to gain an understanding of its substance.…”

The default space model is a unified theory of consciousness that posits the brain and body together form the foundation of conscious experience that exists as a three dimensional internally generated simulation of reality termed the 3D dynamic default space. We have explored and developed the model in many publications and journals with a variety of academic specialties and its scope and concepts continue to broaden. In these publications, we have supported the concepts of the model through its ability to explain neuropsychological disorders, illusions, and everyday observations on consciousness. The model's foundations in which the thalamus serves as a central hub networked with the brain and body by continuous, fast, membrane potential oscillations have been greatly expanded since its initial publication which we review within this article. Profound leaps forward in our theory include the nature of lateral inhibition in sensory perception, the nature of sensory organs acting as "smart screens", and the correlation of respiration with mental atmosphere. Through reviewing the developing concepts expanding the theory since our major 2015 publication that laid the foundation of our theory, we hope to give readers a summarized update of where the theory currently stands in terms of its structure. We encourage readers to investigate these previous publications to gain further insight into our propositions. Through accurate models of consciousness, we may develop etiologies for countless neurological disorders, as well as improve treatments.

“…For instance in the case of vision, photoreceptors synchronize with relevant cortical areas which creates a framework of the visual aspect of the default space. The resulting simulation is micro-calibrated with the physiology of the retina, and [25], through this mechanism, light stimuli that fall upon the retina are automatically bound in size, location, color and movement to current objects in conscious awareness which are themselves bound to the spatial dimension of the default space. In this way, all sensory qualia can be unified, integrated, and experienced as one whole.…”

In order to produce insight to the current state of consciousness research, we provide a review of some of the more preeminent models of consciousness via a comparison of these theories with a novel holistic model. The main goal of this review is to present the advantages in theoretical power of an embodied cognition, metastable model of consciousness manifest in the Default Space Theory by comparing it to other popular brain-based metastable models that though provide important insight into the cognitive nature of consciousness, are incomplete in their model of an architecture of consciousness. The Default Space Theory is a world simulation model in which the thalamus fills in processed sensory information from corticothalamic feedback loops into an internal 3D matrix termed the default space. This article examines some of the most regarded brain-based, metastable consciousness models, the Operational Architectonics Theory of Brain-Mind, Global Workspace Theory, Information Integration Theory, and the Dynamic Core Hypothesis. Through an overview and critique of these models, we illustrate their insights and deficits, and discuss why the Default Space Theory is the most comprehensive theory of consciousness.
