#qualia — Public Fediverse posts

Conjecture: Human #qualia are not (so much) linked to relational structures, symmetries, sensorimotor invariants etc within perceptual content, but rather linked to a small set of specific discrete brainwave constellations evoked by the perceptual input. The idea is that the brain supports a small set of brainwave "resonant modes", and perceptual (or even imagined) content thrown at the brain makes brain activity fall into just one of these (qualia) modes. Content structures can nudge which mode, but it is not the thing itself.

🧠🌐#Consciousness: The Unity of All Things – Where Does It All Come Together in the #Brain?

This is exactly where our #Zoomposium with #WolfSinger comes in. Under the title “Can the Brain Understand the Brain?”, we’ll be challenging traditional notions of mind and matter.

🎉 #FreeWill – #Reality or #Illusion? ✨

Our actions arise from deterministic processes in the #brain, but we only see the consequences.

In the #Zoomposium with #WolfSinger, we ask: Can the brain understand itself?

@jandockx

I'm not saying that the concept of #personhood is not valid or useful to #moral #decision-making.

I am also aware that this can be emotionally triggering, much the same as discussions of #PersonalIdentity or #Consciousness or #qualia, etc.

But I am saying that 'personhood' has served as a simplified placeholder for a more general and abstract way of looking at moral decision-making—a better view that avoids the bumps and discontinuities at the limits of the 'personhood' view, and provides extensibility to allow for moral (right-in-principle) decision-making applied to non-person objects such as our environment, animals of various types and degrees of sentience, actions against 'persons' but with no measurable consequences, and moral consideration of potential artificial agents to the extent that they act within a shared context of #meaningmaking
