to Conference: Towards Science of Consciousness, Budapest 2007 its own rationality, involving the rationality of practical dialogical syntheses of both universal and local symmetries, i.e., `thick' descriptions involving multiple `thin' descriptions. IV. The `orthodox account' of the quantum theory (so-called by Wigner, Dirac, and von Neumann), is a `thick description,' a rational practical synthesis of both the universal symmetries of Space, Time, Motion, and Energy (classical physics) and many practical local symmetries (local laboratory cultures in which Space is differentiated from Motion, and Time differentiated from Energy). Two key terms are re-defined: `measurement' is taken in the practical sense, and `mathematical intuition' is taken to include Hilbert Vector Spaces. 1 This term is used by Donald, Merlin, A Mind So Rare, Chap. 3 (New York: Norton, 2001); Pribram calls it `central processing complement.' In Pribram, K. Brain and Perception (Hilsdale, NJ: Erlbaum,1991), p. 96. 2 Geertz, Clifford, "Thick Description: Toward an Interpretive Theory of Culture" in Geertz, C. The Interpretation of Cultures (New York: Basic Books, 1973).

Video ergo sum: manipulating bodily self-consciousness.
Humans normally experience the conscious self as localized within their bodily borders. This spatial unity may break down in certain neurological conditions such as out-of-body experiences, leading to a striking disturbance of bodily self-consciousness. On the basis of these clinical data, we designed an experiment that uses conflicting visual-somatosensory input in virtual reality to disrupt t...
متن کاملThe Brain Is Both Neurocomputer and Quantum Computer
In their article, Is the Brain a Quantum Computer,? Litt, Eliasmith, Kroon, Weinstein, and Thagard (2006) criticize the Penrose-Hameroff "Orch OR" quantum computational model of consciousness, arguing instead for neurocomputation as an explanation for mental phenomena. Here I clarify and defend Orch OR, show how Orch OR and neurocomputation are compatible, and question whether neurocomputation ...

متن کاملMichael Lipkind Extra Ingredient Consciousness Limerick
There was a young lady of Kent Whose nose was awfully bent. She followed her nose One day, I suppose, And no one knows which way she went. A typical Limerick? I think that this one portrays an allegorical situation reminiscent of the pursuit along the way 'Toward a Science of Consciousness'. The route the young lady set out on appeared to be so twisting, winding, meandering, sinuous, and tortuo...
