Abstract

The feasibility of Christ's Sweeping Model as a valid explanation of human attention is explored. As a model of artificial intelligence systems, the Sweeping Model may hold merit, but it certainly cannot explain the phenomenon of human attention. The model's failure in this regard is due to an incomplete conception of the experience of human attention, reliance on an associative neural network that cannot explain human cognition, and the prominence of homunculi that reveal themselves upon closer inspection of the model
