The Phenomenal Concept Strategy: a reply to Chalmers
A powerful reply to a range of familiar anti-physicalist arguments has recently been developed. According to this reply, our possession of phenomenal concepts can explain the facts that the anti-physicalist claims can only be explained by a non-reductive account of phenomenal consciousness. Chalmers (2006) argues that the phenomenal concept strategy is doomed to fail. This paper presents the ph...
متن کاملEmbodied simulation: From neurons to phenomenal experience
The same neural structures involved in the unconscious modeling of our acting body in space also contribute to our awareness of the lived body and of the objects that the world contains. Neuroscientific research also shows that there are neural mechanisms mediating between the multi-level personal experience we entertain of our lived body, and the implicit certainties we simultaneously hold abo...
متن کاملCore Concept: How Bose-Einstein condensates keep revealing weird physics.
A Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), the first of which was shown experimentally 22 years ago, isn’t your garden variety state of matter. It formed at a fraction above absolute zero and only in atoms that act like bosons, one of two types of fundamental particles. Bosons don’t follow the Pauli exclusion principle, which prohibits twoparticles from existing in the same quantum state. When bosonic a...

The Challenges The Challenge To aCCounT for absTraCT ConCepTs Most studies of E and G cognition have focused on concrete objects and actions. People can also represent and reason about abstract concepts that do not have many sensory–motor features, however, and there is not much evidence yet on grounding of abstract concepts in sensory–motor systems (for a review, see Pecher et al., 2011). Thus...
متن کاملHow to keep photoreceptors alive.
O ver the last 40 years, there has been increasing success in the surgical treatment of retinal detachment in that the retinal reattachment could be achieved in a high proportion of cases but visual recovery was frequently poor. An explanation for this poor visual outcome was derived from work on experimental retinal detachment in which it was shown that photoreceptor cell death occurred becaus...
