Cross-species neuroscience: closing the explanatory gap. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2021 Neuroscience has seen substantial development in non-invasive methods available for investigating the living human brain. However, these tools are limited to coarse macroscopic measures of neural activity that aggregate the diverse responses of thousands of cells.

Phenomenal Consciousness and Emergence: Eliminating the Explanatory Gap [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2020 The role of emergence in the creation of consciousness has been debated for over a century, but it remains unresolved. In particular there is controversy over the claim that a “strong” or radical form of emergence is required to explain phenomenal ...

Subjectivity “Demystified”: Neurobiology, Evolution, and the Explanatory Gap [PDF]
Frontiers in Psychology, 2019 While life in general can be explained by the mechanisms of physics, chemistry, and biology, to many scientists and philosophers, it appears that when it comes to explaining consciousness, there is what the philosopher Joseph Levine called an ...

Electromagnetism’s Bridge Across the Explanatory Gap: How a Neuroscience/Physics Collaboration Delivers Explanation Into All Theories of Consciousness [PDF]
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2022 A productive, informative three decades of correlates of phenomenal consciousness (P-Consciousness) have delivered valuable knowledge while simultaneously locating us in a unique and unprecedented explanatory cul-de-sac.

Panqualityism, Awareness and the Explanatory Gap [PDF]
Erkenntnis, 2020 AbstractAccording to panqualityism, a form of Russellian monism defended by Sam Coleman and others, consciousness is grounded in fundamental qualities, i.e. unexperienced qualia. Despite panqualityism’s significant promise, according to David Chalmers panqualityism fails as a theory of consciousness since the reductive approach to awareness of ...

Evolving Across the Explanatory Gap [PDF]
Philosophy, Theory, and Practice in Biology, 2019 I attempt to narrow and reshape Levine’s “explanatory gap” between mental and physical, by means of a dual use of the concept of subjectivity. First, subjectivity and the associated notion of “point of view” are helpful in defusing arguments against ...

Exploring the Computational Explanatory Gap [PDF]
Philosophies, 2017 While substantial progress has been made in the field known as artificial consciousness, at the present time there is no generally accepted phenomenally conscious machine, nor even a clear route to how one might be produced should we decide to try. Here, we take the position that, from our computer science perspective, a major reason for this is a ...

Neurobiological emergentism: sentience as an emergent process and the experiential gap [PDF]
Frontiers in PsychologyOne of the most controversial and debated problems regarding the nature of sentience, is how to integrate the biology and neurobiology of sentience with the problem of the “explanatory gaps” that are proposed to arise between the functions of the nervous

Neuro-cognitive multilevel causal modeling: A framework that bridges the explanatory gap between neuronal activity and cognition. [PDF]
PLoS Computational BiologyExplaining how neuronal activity gives rise to cognition arguably remains the most significant challenge in cognitive neuroscience. We introduce neuro-cognitive multilevel causal modeling (NC-MCM), a framework that bridges the explanatory gap between ...
