#qualia — Public Fediverse posts

Can your brain learn to "truly see" the soundscapes? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVugtxWmW4E Try the sound-guided mental imagery exercise. #immutable #qualia?

(LinkedIn) 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 https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7503746123359154177/

"Cross-modal remapping. During extensive sensory-substitution learning, the really interesting question becomes not merely whether auditory information activates visual cortex, but whether activity begins occupying dynamical modes normally associated with visual experience. If visual-like phenomenology eventually appeared, your theory predicts convergence at the level of these modes rather than necessarily convergence of the complete representational architecture." #BCI #blindness

The big challenge and Holy Grail of visual-to-auditory sensory substitution is then to somehow (training, behaviors, other stimuli, drugs, ...) evoke in late-blind people the spatiotemporal brainwave constellations associated with normal vision (eyesight). #qualia

🔬Why #experiments aren't always necessary – ⚛️From #physics to #philosophyofmind🧠

In our #Zoomposium with #DanielDennett, one of the most influential thinkers in the philosophy of mind, we explore this very topic.

🎧Unseen #Sound – How Your #Brain Processes Inner #Music🧠

In the #Zoomposium with #DanielDennett, it becomes clear:
#Consciousness is less of a “place” where things happen and more of a #process of #processing, #interpretation, and #simulation.
