Proposal to create discussion forum to consider evidence on theories of consciousness
1UC Berkeley, Berkeley, USA.
Abstract:
I consider the Doerig, Schruger, Herzog (this issue) paper to be a very important paper on the multiple empirical theories of consciousness (ToCs). The paper compared 13 different approaches. It would be wonderful to create a forum for all interested parties to discuss the many issues this paper brought up. Equally important is what the paper didn't bring up. Namely, how do the different empirical approaches connect to qualia, the subjective aspects of consciousness. In my mind, qualia is the biggest mystery facing present science. It would be good to see how the multiple interpretations might connect to qualia.
