Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 2022 Accounting for qualia in the natural world is a difficult business, and it is worth understanding why. A close examination of several theories of mind—Behaviorism, Identity Theory, Functionalism, and Integrated Information Theory—will be discussed, revealing shortcomings for these theories in explaining the contents of conscious experience: qualia.

Current Biology, 2004 What are qualia? Qualia – singular quale – is the philosophical term for the introspectively accessible, phenomenal aspects of our lives, the elemental feelings and sensations that are the building blocks of conscious experience. Qualia are at the very heart of the mind–body problem. How do the salty taste and crunchy texture of potato chips, the

Current Biology, 2012 SummaryPerhaps the most difficult biological question of all might be how and why electrochemical neuronal activity in the brain generates subjective conscious experience such as the redness of red or the painfulness of pain. Neuroscientists track how light impinging on the retina is transformed into electrical pulses (neuronal spikes), relayed through

Spacetime Emergence in Quantum Gravity: Functionalism and the Hard Problem [PDF]
, 2019 Spacetime functionalism is the view that spacetime is a functional structure implemented by a more fundamental ontology. Lam and Wüthrich have recently argued that spacetime functionalism helps to solve the epistemological problem of empirical coherence

The Philosophical Quarterly, 2018 This paper revisits some classic thought experiments in which experiences are detached from their characteristic causal roles, and explores what these thought experiments tell us about qualia epiphenomenalism, i.e., the view that qualia are epiphenomenal properties.
