Welcome to the forum, hope all is well with you. Science isn't really concerned what it is like to be something, they're more interested in discoverin...

Wouldn't have the slightest clue.

That's more something a neurobiologist could explain, my expertise is limited to academic research. I can only tell what the scientists are find out, ...

Well, I have bounced back and forth on that one, hehah

Yes. It's like a cognitive reflection that goes through a multisensory process, it's very peculiar. It's like being honest with oneself in a manner th...

This is just you saying stuff, no argument here. This is not a matter for ontology, or metaphysics. This is an empirical science. And it is quite lite...

No, I don't think so. Had that been the case, you would have addressed something I've asserted with the data. You've not done any such thing. Not in a...

Insulting me just makes you look more like someone who doesn't have an argument.

Yes.

That is correct, it's the hardest thing to explain of all time. But, observing something complex and mysterious is not an explanation of whatever it i...

Except people go brain dead all the time, and there goes their bodies. Sever connection of one part of the body to the brain, bye bye body part. It ca...

Called it. No it isn't. It's the most important Ethical understanding ever uncovered. It's just, people don't want to look at it long enough to notice...

Yes, exactly. The current data we do have is very promising, and it would only make sense to have those types of elements involved as being essential ...

Combine all three, and that's Romanticism. If you've read Les Miserables, that's pinnacle Romanticism.

The thing one must understand about Historical Materialism, is the very poor source of intellect from which such an idea stems. Let me explain: From E...

There I go again, playing Nostradamus.

.... go on, then.. tell us...

Through the integration of sensory data across multiple neural channels before being stored in the hippocampus for retrieval by the neocortex. Left yo...

I only watched you frolicking around in it over and over again, not that hard to admit.

Thank you for confirming exactly what I said.

Falsification is not proving something to be false, it is empirically testing it in a manner that places it in jeopardy as a hypothesis. If it passes,...

Yeah, fantasies have that effect.

Yes it is.

Then I'm proven right just that much more.

Oh, you've not troubled my position at all.

It's made right sure of it. Your brain has a funny way of admitting it has nothing to offer here.

The short of it is, the brain receives sensory data and integrates through multiple channels before storing it in the hippocampus for retrieval by the...

Janus' brain looking at itself across comments. lol

No, not really. Although, I see why you would say such. If you see the quote I left for you at the bottom of OP, you'll notice the issue has already b...

mmmm, science.

lol, still waiting on arguments, hehaha

And I'll bet that brain will never produce an argument here.

Emotional outbursts aren't relevant here.

It's written above with scientific support. Circular logic doesn't apply to a computational entity that is constantly receiving data in cycle of ever ...

Actually, it does. Everything that is true matters, it's what philosophy is all about.

Beautifully stated, my astute friend. Tell me, though, what have I, or the research above stated that isn't exactly aligned with this analysis?

No, I'm clueless entirely on the subject, to my chagrin. Tell me, from whence do they stem, my friend?

Okay, that's fine, we can play with that. Just understand, the parameter is set. Any assertion will require support. But, yeah, let's explore it. It's...

No it isn't, and this non-philosophical dismissal of scientific evidence is not acceptable: "This fallacy is committed when a person makes a claim tha...

Basically what the article concludes "a neural network of consciousness in which the paraventricular nucleus formally serves as the control nucleus of...

Evidence? That'll be required here. I see you have a pretty decent assertion, if you can support it. Your other comments are addressed in my OP.

Ah

No, the evidence. You present something, I review. This requires support. Why is this believed by you, what are you going off of?

Evidence?

Which is fine, Tom. I'm all game for that. But, when an OP asks what such a theory would look like, and I relay the current standing data on the subje...

hehah

Data is there, left it for you when you're emotionally ready.

No, ALL the evidence that exists, that's every single bit of it, suggests that consciousness is the production of multiple complex regions of the brai...

Yes, they are: "Thus, the persistent firing needed to sustain a mental representation without sensory stimulation arises from recurrent glutamate NMDA...

I didn't think you had it in you.
