Explaining what people say about sensory qualia
There is an argument promulgated by certain philosophers (notably Dennett 1988, 1991), claiming that from a logical and philosophical point of view the notion of "qualia" makes no sense.

متن کاملQualia
Our recent brain imaging study (Chambon et al. 2012) found evidence that the interaction between the angular gyrus of the parietal cortex, and the action selection centres in the prefrontal cortex, plays a key role in the prospective sense of agency. When incompatible primes interfered with the decision of which action to make, the angular gyrus activation at the time of action selection showed...

When you experience the redness of an apple, they say, your visual system is merely representing that there is a red surface at such-and-such a place in front of you. And when you experience a red afterimage, your visual system is (non-ver...
متن کاملZED: Explaining Temporal Variations in Query Volume
We hypothesize that the variance in volume of high-velocity queries over time can be explained by observing that these queries are formulated in response to events in the world that users are interested in. Based on it, this paper describes a system, ZED, which automatically finds explanations for high velocity queries, by extracting descriptions of relevant and temporally-proximate events from...
