"The Experience Machine: How Our Minds Predict and Shape Reality" could be interesting to you. The framework it presents tries to explain attention and world models, and does so quite convincingly in my opinion.

"Design for a brain" by W. Ross Ashby (1953) is also worth a look, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40846986

> In 1949 Time described it as "the closest thing to a synthetic brain so far designed by man".
