It mainly addresses animal consciousness and, to a certain extent, intelligent AI. It provides an overview of the main theories regarding consciousness, more specifically those of neuroscience and cognitive science, and also their materialistic base at a neuroanatomical and neurophysiological level, emphasizing the role the prefrontal cortex plays, both in humans and animals. Then, it considers particular aspects of consciousness, such as emotion, and presents the three broad traditions considering human emotions, which are emotions as feelings, evaluations, and judgments, as well as studies on animal emotions. Then, it continues with the proposed models of metacognition and memory to deepen the analysis regarding common characteristics of human and non-human consciousness. It also touches on the platform theory, which may bridge human, animal, and AI consciousness, although this theory is under consideration. It ends with references to animals’ social behavior, their interactions with humans, their possible ontogenic proximity as expressed in biolinguistics, and the findings of computational ethology, which help to establish models of mental human disorders. The study concludes that findings support proximities between humans and animals, consciousness at the level of neurophysiology, and emotion and metacognition. Contrary to animals and AI, human consciousness is more complicated and far from cybernetic and computational models since it is linked with various kinds of malleability, reconsolidation, neural plasticity, different conceptions of emotions, and certain mental pathologies.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">В данном исследовании рассматриваются возможные общие характеристики человеческого и нечеловеческого сознания. В основном статья направлена на анализ сознания животных и, в определенной степени, разумного искусственного интеллекта (ИИ). Представлен обзор основных теорий, касающихся сознания, в частности теорий нейробиологии и когнитивной науки, а также их материалистической основы на нейроанатомическом и нейрофизиологическом уровне, подчеркивается роль, которую играет префронтальная кора как у людей, так и у животных. Затем рассматриваются отдельные аспекты сознания, такие, в частности, как эмоции, и представлены три широкие традиции, анализирующие человеческие эмоции, а именно такие, как чувства, оценки и суждения, а также исследующие эмоции животных. Затем предложенные модели метапознания и памяти используются для углубления анализа общих характеристик человеческого и нечеловеческого сознания. Это также затрагивает теорию платформ, которая имеет возможность соединить сознание человека, животного и искусственного интеллекта. Хотя эта теория находится еще в стадии обсуждения. Исследование заканчивается ссылками на социальное поведение животных, их взаимодействие с людьми, их возможную онтогенетическую близость, выраженную в биолингвистике, а также на открытия компьютерной этологии, которые помогают создавать модели психических расстройств человека. Результаты исследования подтверждают близость между людьми и животными, их сознания на уровне нейрофизиологии, эмоций и метапознания. Однако, в отличие от животных и искусственного интеллекта, человеческое сознание более сложное и далекое от кибернетических и вычислительных моделей, поскольку оно связано с различными видами податливости, реконсолидации, нейронной пластичности, с различными концепциями эмоций и некоторыми психическими патологиями.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>neuroscience</kwd><kwd>emotion</kwd><kwd>metacognition</kwd><kwd>memory</kwd><kwd>platform theory</kwd><kwd>biolinguistics</kwd><kwd>computational ethology</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>нейронаука</kwd><kwd>эмоции</kwd><kwd>метапознание</kwd><kwd>память</kwd><kwd>теория платформ</kwd><kwd>биолингвистика</kwd><kwd>вычислительная этология</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Damasio AR, et al.
