Pain, qualia, and the explanatory gap
Philosophical Psychology, 1998Abstract This paper investigates the status of the purported explanatory gap between pain phenomena and natural science, when the “gap” is thought to exist due to the special properties of experience designated by “qualia” or “the pain quale” in the case of pain experiences.

On widening the explanatory gap
Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 1997The explanatory gap refers to the lack of concepts for understanding “how it is that . . . a state of consciousness comes about as a result of irritating nervous tissue.” By assuming that there are colours in the outside world, Block needlessly widens this gap and Lycan and Kitcher simply fail to see the gap. When such assumptions are abandoned,

Consciousness and Cognition, 1998Taylor’s paper purports to bridge the explanatory gap between neurophysiological function and phenomenal experience (PE). He suggests properties of PE, attempts to show how these properties map onto underlying neural information processing, and argues that a particular form of neural network, the locally recurrent network, has the requisite properties ...

Constitution and the explanatory gap
Synthese, 2007Proponents of the explanatory gap claim that consciousness is a mystery. No one has ever given an account of how a physical thing could be identical to a phenomenal one. We fully understand the identity between water and H2O but the identity between pain and the firing of C-fibers is inconceivable.
