New paper on consciousness in Nature Reviews Psychology
With Hakwan Lau, Matthias Michel and Joe Le Doux, we have written a recent opinion piece in Nature Reviews Psychology entitled “The mnemonic basis of subjective experience” outling how implicit knowledge of a quality space may support the capacity to say what an experience is “like” (a relational judgment between two points in perceptual space). This is exciting because it captures the famous “what it is like” definition of phenomenology in computational terms, and leads to testable experiments about the functional role and neural implementation of conscious processing.
