#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

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.

@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
