Forget about Neurons for a moment and think about the experiences of Consciousness itself. Think about the experience of the color Red at 670nm Wavele...

Yes this is what I have been arguing. Science does not have a theory for how Consciousness is produced from the Neural Activity. When Science finds a ...

Good article. But the real question is: Given that all that Neural Activity is happening then how do we get that Visual experience in our Conscious Mi...

I originally said it was a Topographical mapping but changed it to Topological mapping. When I Googled it, it looks like I was right the first time. T...

I've heard of experiments like this. Interesting but it's about paying attention. Not that they can't see the two different people because of some Vis...

Means that each point on the Retina is mapped to a point on V1. Also points near each other on the Retina are mapped to points near each other on V1. ...

There is a certain amount of seeing what you expect to see but it only lasts for fractions of a second. For example: when my towels are in the washing...

This still did not invalidate the fact that V1 is Topologically mapped with the Retina.

Don't see how this undermines the Topological mapping from Retina to V1. Anything you do will change your Brain in some way.

Thank You for the links. More details of how the Visual System works are always welcome. I did not get from these links that anything they said dispro...

I agree, very puzzling.

I think the obvious first thing you would think is that the eyes during REM are following the action in some Dream scene. But I don't think anyone is ...

Rapid eye movements do not imply Retinal activity. Besides it is a fact that there is no Retinal activity while Dreaming. There is even very little V1...

Each of us knows what our own Conscious Mind is by virtue of the Experiences we have but we would be unable to explain it. Consciousness is as I have ...

I think that Color Consciousness is further upstream in the processing and is probably a composite of all the Visual Cortex areas. I don't thinK Color...

I would look at the generation of Qualia as the final product that results from a chain of processing. The chain starts with the Retina and progresses...

Very good post...

Here's what the Inter Mind website says about the two way connection: With any Conscious experience there seems to be an implied Conscious Self (CSf) ...

Science has been assuming that Consciousness will be found in the Neurons for a hundred years now. That may still ultimately be true but after this am...

My answer for the third question was the last sentence: So the purpose of the Neural Activity is to enable the Inter Mind to Connect the Physical Mind...

For me I experience the Color. I have no inner knowledge of Neural Activity. We know Neural Activity happens and then correlated Conscious Activity ha...

Sorry about that. The point is not only about Red. All colors are Metaphors. So I will assume you can See Blue. You could think about the Blueness of ...

The two Categories are not Artificially separated. They are so different in the kind of things that they are that you would actually have to Artificia...

I said there is a chain of Processing that the Visual system performs. You said that there was no chain of Processing and that it was just a Web of Pr...

Any introductory textbook on the Eye and Visual Cortex will tell you that there is certainly a Chain of Processing. There is of course lots of feedbac...

I simply recognize two Categories of things that happen. First Category is all the Neural Activity that can happen. Second Category is all the Qualia ...

Infinity is a Mathematical fiction and should be applied carefully to the World of Physical Things. For example we can say that there are an Infinite ...

But we do know what we are looking for. We just are unable to find it, so we give up and say things like the Neural Representation is the Conscious Ex...

I agree that our World is Consciousness in the sense that we don't know anything about the external Physical World except through our Conscious experi...

If you are claiming that everything is Consciousness then that's ok. But you will have to explain that. At this point in time the Physical World of En...

It exists in the World of Consciousness. This could very well be part of the Physical World. Science can not say How the Red experience that we have i...

Thank You, I see what you are driving at. The chain of processing for the Detection of 670nm Light is that this Light must first hit the Retina. Would...

It does not matter if the Neural Processing has feed forward and feed backward connections. It's still just Neural Processing. The Redness of the Red ...

Ok I don't get it. Sorry.

Since the Russian language has several extra categories for blue they have had practice sorting blues into more bins than Americans do. They will do b...

Don't know why but the best we know from Science is that Neural Activity precedes Consciousness Activity.

You are saying we can't verbalize the difference but we do see the difference?

The transformation of Neural Activity into Consciousness Activity is a process that Science cannot explain at this time. Consciousness Activity is so ...

Very good. Thank you for actually reading the website. Of course you could make a diagram like this but then the glaring question is How does the NL b...

Just because we don't have a name for the other shades of Blue doesn't mean we can't see them. I can see a whole spectrum of just Blues. Putting a nam...

But how does Neural Activity produce the Metaphors. You can't just say it does and that is supposed to explain it.

Some cultures don't have a good naming convention for Color but it does not mean that they can't see Colors. Maybe there could be a whole group of iso...

The reason we can't see the Red dot on the Red background is that we don't really see objects themselves. We only see the reflected Light. So if all t...

This is all reasonable. But what I want to know is How does the Brain do all this with the result that I See the color Red or Hear a 440Hz Tone. I'm i...

Exactly. What I want to know is How do we come into possession of those Metaphors? What are those Metaphors? We have Neural Activity that seems to pro...

You are still saying that the Neural Activity happens and that Explains everything. It is mind boggling to me that you cannot realize the thing that i...

There is Physical Red Light out there in the Physical World and there is Conscious Red Light that we actually experience in our Conscious Minds. The C...

Yes I agree. I think the chain of events is more or less correct but Science cannot explain that last step: "that Consciousness constructs or informs ...

I am always trying to emphasize the difference between the external Physical Phenomenon and the internal Conscious Phenomenon. When I say Conscious So...

Choose any Color that you want to study. People with colorblindness can think about the shade of White. Pick a Sound to study. Take the Standard A Ton...
