The paper deals with the phenomenal trust modelling. Required terms as trust, trust types, trust values and representation are mentioned. Fundamental description of phenomenal trust formation is presented as a form of impersonal trust which is complementary to interpersonal trust. Phenomenon is defined by the set of its possible exclusive values. The model describes the trust of a subject to pa...

Medical professionals must continuously develop their professional and personal abilities for better treatment and diagnosis procedures (Pillay 2004). The phenomenal development of modern scientific medicine in the turn of 20th century has made dramatic changes in the quality and quantity of knowledge and applications in the field of health care (Elizabeth 2008). The growth of medicine branches...

In a recent Opinion paper in TiCS, Ned Block [1] confronts the recent empirical and theoretical challenges to his distinction between two forms of consciousness (i.e. rich ‘phenomenal’ vs sparse ‘access’). Although we value his attitude of facing these issues, we still believe that the proposed ‘unaccessed phenomenal consciousness’, which is the cornerstone of this theoretical proposal, remains...

We report three experiments in which visual or audiovisual displays depicted a surface (target) set into motion shortly after one or more events occurred. A visual motion was used as an initial event, followed directly either by the target motion or by one of three marker events: a collision sound, a blink of the target stimulus, or the blink together with the sound. The delay between the initi...

Following an initial emphasis on " cold " cognitive processes, which could be conceptualized within the computer metaphor of the information processing paradigm, social cognition researchers rediscovered " hot " cognition in the 1980's. Two decades later, their interest in the interplay of feeling and thinking is shared by researchers in decision making, cognitive psychology, and related fields...

Recently, Michael Huemer has defended the Principle of Phenomenal Conservatism: If it seems to S that p, then, in the absence of defeaters, S thereby has at least some degree of justification for believing that p. This principle has potentially farreaching implications. Huemer uses it to argue against skepticism and to defend a version of ethical intuitionism. I employ a reductio to show that P...

In this paper, we present an account of phenomenal consciousness. Phenomenal consciousness is experience, and the problem of phenomenal consciousness is to explain how physical processes – behavioral, neural, computational – can produce experience. Numerous thinkers have argued that phenomenal consciousness cannot be explained in functional, neural or information processing terms (e. Different ...

In our contribution we will observe phenomenal architecture of a mind and operational architectonics of the brain and will show their intimate connectedness within a single integrated metastable continuum. The notion of operation of different complexity is the fundamental and central one in bridging the gap between brain and mind: it is precisely by means of this notion that it is possible to i...
