→System vs. creature consciousness
Similar to the [[consciousness#conscious mechanism|conscious mechanism]] conception of consciousness, some papers distinguish conscious (neural) processing from unconscious (neural) processing. This can probably also be fleshed out in terms of the [[neural correlate of consciousness]] and seems to be intimately bound to the [[consciousness#conscious perception of a stimulus|conscious perception of a stimulus]] conception of consciousness.
== System State vs. creature consciousness ==
Creature consciousness,<ref>Rosenthal, ''Why are verbally expressed thoughts conscious?'', 1990.</ref> also called ''individual consciousness''<ref name="Guel" /> refers to the [[consciousness#wakefulness|wakefulness]] conception of consciousness when applied to individual beings.
State consciousness generally denotes a notion of consciousness which is a [[consciousness#unary predicate of mental states|unary predicate of mental states]].
It thus "classifies one's (mental) states as of one type or another"<ref name="Guel"/> and "functions as a type-identifier for mental states". It is likely that here, too, (Rosenthal, 2002)<ref></ref> and (Güzeldere, 1995)<ref name="Guel"/> refer to the [[consciousness#wakefulness|wakefulness]] conception of consciousness, though it can be interpreted also to refer to some of the other connotations of consciousness introduced above.
