Take the Conscious Visual experience of the scene the p-Zombie is looking at. Without the Conscious Visual experience the p-Zombie would be Blind and ...

You are specifying a particular type of Neural Activity when you talk about Memory access but this is all still Neural Activity. This is all still the...

What exactly are these Common Experience Effects that you would add to the Neural Activity to explain the Explanatory Gap?
May 07, 2018 at 00:25
I think you are giving too much credit to the existing knowledge about Consciousness. Nobody has any idea how Neural Activity leads to the Conscious e...
May 06, 2018 at 23:12
Because Science knows so little about the actual mechanisms of Consciousness, any and all speculations are still on the table. Your speculation is a g...
May 05, 2018 at 12:50
We have two categories of things happening. You say that if they really are both the same category in the first place then the problem is solved. Ok, ...
May 04, 2018 at 12:38
The first thing to think about is the profound difference between Neural Activity and the Red experience. These are two entirely different categories ...
May 04, 2018 at 00:23
But these are all Neural Correlates of the Conscious experience of Red. Just because all these Neural things are happening does not even begin to expl...

Yes I think it must work both ways. I would call the Interaction from the Conscious Realm to the Physical Realm: Conscious Volition.
April 21, 2018 at 12:33
The Conscious Red Light can be interpreted as a type of input Data that the Conscious Mind can process. The Conscious Red Light is input Data for the ...
April 21, 2018 at 12:23
I basically agree. I said that there needs to be a Realm C but that was probably a little too strong. I think the Bridge is still needed even though i...
April 20, 2018 at 17:15
Physical Red Light has Wavelength as a Property, but Physical Red does not have Redness as a Property. Conscious Red Light (the Conscious Experience o...
April 20, 2018 at 15:44
The Physical Realm is real and the Conscious Realm is real. The Interaction is completely real, we just don't know what it is yet. Just because Causal...
April 15, 2018 at 23:34
When I see that a Phenomenon in A is correlated with a Phenomenon in B I just naturally ask how does this happen? The Correlations are predictable and...
April 15, 2018 at 16:20
Let Realm A be the Conscious Realm where all our Conscious experiences happen. We can put all Conscious experience in it's own Realm because we don't ...
April 15, 2018 at 13:28
Think about the Redness of the Red. What is that? The Redness of the Red is not explainable in words. It exists only in the Conscious Mind. It's purel...
April 15, 2018 at 11:15
As I remember it the pZombie was a discussion tool for asking the question: What would be the difference if Consciousness was removed from the Human M...
April 13, 2018 at 16:11
I completely agree with that interpretation of Illusion in that we never really experience the External World directly but only through our internal C...
April 13, 2018 at 15:05
But when I say Neural Activity I mean any and all Neural Activity, coordinated and or not coordinated. How does the coordinated combination of any kin...
April 13, 2018 at 14:13
I have never quite understood arguments that end up with the conclusion that Consciousness is an Illusion. In my way of thinking an Illusion is someth...
April 12, 2018 at 23:57
I like to concentrate on one aspect of Conscious sensory perception and stick with it. I like to think about how we Experience the color Red. I like t...
April 12, 2018 at 00:22
A Memory is just more Neural Activity. You're just saying that Neural Activity causes the Red Experience, but the question is how does Neural Activity...
April 11, 2018 at 23:41
Yes there are many things going on when we look at an Object. But my study is purely about the Image that we See. I think it's better to concentrate o...
April 08, 2018 at 13:47
By Vivid Image I'm talking about the immediate present moment when you are looking at something.. I'm not talking about trying to remember the Image o...
April 01, 2018 at 12:44
Just by saying that Something is perceiving the Image, to me, means that the Something is Conscious of the Image. With all Conscious Sensory experienc...
March 30, 2018 at 14:32
If it is still a Vivid Image then I think you are Conscious of it. I think we can have Vivid Images of all kinds of things that we have never seen bef...
March 23, 2018 at 18:48
I never said the three stage approach explained Consciousness. All I ever say is that if we are going to explain Consciousness we have to acknowledge ...
March 23, 2018 at 18:40
Even though all the things you listed are happening in the Brain when you look at a Squirrel, I don't see that there is an explanation for the Vivid I...
March 20, 2018 at 23:52
If someone defines it that way then ok. But we really only Detect Physical Light we never really See it. We always only See our internal CL. Yes that ...
March 17, 2018 at 13:08
Seeing CL does not require the eyes to be involved. The CL we See while dreaming certainly has nothing to do with Physical Light or eye function. The ...
March 16, 2018 at 15:58
You can't equate understanding Decision with understanding the experience of Red. I think these are Apples and Oranges. I'm interested in Sensory perc...
March 14, 2018 at 00:32
How does this Process produce the experience of Red that we all know?
March 11, 2018 at 23:48
It's fine to say the Brain creates a Model, but the question remains as to how we experience the Model as a Conscious thing?
March 11, 2018 at 11:15
It is the mind which experience the Qualia, electromagnetic wave in a brain. It is mind that decides and act on matter too. We know the Mind does thes...
March 11, 2018 at 11:12
The basic question that the Inter Mind Model and this thread addresses is ... Given: 1) Neural Activity for Red happens. 2) A Conscious experience of ...
March 10, 2018 at 14:39
So you could consider them as subconscious mind. Unless you have a reason to distinguish them from each other. The Inter Mind bridges between the Subc...
February 25, 2018 at 23:56
Is Inter Mind Conscious? I think only the Conscious Mind is Conscious. The Physical Mind and the Inter Mind are front end and intermediate processing ...
February 25, 2018 at 18:29
Is Qualia generated by brain? The Inter Mind is the connection between the Physical Mind (Brain) and the Conscious Mind. The Inter Mind is a translato...
February 25, 2018 at 13:54
1) What is mind? The Inter Mind Model distinguishes between the Physical Mind and the Conscious Mind and proposes that there must be another processin...
February 18, 2018 at 14:16
You're talking about Physical Light which is Electromagnetic Energy. I'm talking about the Light that we experience which is Conscious Light. We don't...
September 23, 2017 at 12:55
What is the Red in your Conscious experience of Red? Is it made out of Matter? Is it made out of Energy? Is it made out of some aspect of Space? Seems...
September 21, 2017 at 23:27
The Robot would not experience Fear unless we could give it Consciousness and then it would be an Android. All those Robot responses mean nothing. Fea...
September 20, 2017 at 00:11
If you could dissect the experience of Red like you just did with the pencil I would agree. Fact is we cant even understand the wood of Consciousness....
September 20, 2017 at 00:06
Exactly!
September 02, 2017 at 19:49
But what is the thing that is rational and irrational? What is the thing that wants and has desires? You have only stated things about Consciousness t...
September 02, 2017 at 19:42
No a computer can detect a face and still not be aware. There's no infinite regression of levels of awareness going on here.
August 30, 2017 at 23:59
We are aware that we make arguments but do we understand anything about what that thing is that makes arguments?
August 30, 2017 at 23:52
Awareness that you have recognized a face is the difference. Even when the IBM Watson won Jeopardy it never knew it won. It could never enjoy that it ...
August 29, 2017 at 23:48
Real Mind has Consciousness. Fake Mind has no Consciousness. But if we could give Consciousness to a Machine then it would not be a Fake Mind anymore,...
August 29, 2017 at 23:45
Please, name one thing about Consciousness that we understand.
