Will Science and Consciousness Ever Meat? Complexity, Symmetry and Qualia

Within recent discussions in the Philosophy of Mind, the nature of conscious phenomenal states or qualia (also called ‘raw feels’ or the feel of ‘what it is like to be’) has been an important focus of interest. Proponents of Mind-Body Type-Identity theories have claimed that mental states can be reduced to neurophysiological states of the brain. Others have denied that such a reduction is possi...

λ-Symmetry method and the Prelle-Singer method for third-order differential equations

In this paper, we will obtain first integral, integrating factor and λ-symmetry of third-order ODEs u ⃛=F(x,u,u ̇,u ̈). Also we compare Prelle -Singer (PS) method and λ-symmetry method for third-order differential equations.In this paper, we will obtain first integral, integrating factor and λ-symmetry of third-order ODEs u ⃛=F(x,u,u ̇,u ̈).

Semantic Mind–Brain Maps and the Quantum Qualia of Consciousness

This paper proposes a new scientific integration of the classical and quantum fundamentals of neuropsychotherapy. The history, theory, research, and practice of neuropsychotherapy are reviewed and updated in light of the current STEM perspectives on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. New technology is introduced to motivate more systematic research comparing the bioelectronic am...

Will robots see?

Will robots ever really see? Imagine a robot 10,000 years in the future. At that time we should finally understand the visual system and be able to build robots whose visual performance surpasses humans'. We will then ask: when a robot claims to be seeing, are its sensations the same as mine? The problem is to connect the first person "feel" of an event (qualia) to the third person performance ...
