Another preprint! By @zhangchuyin.bsky.social me and @naotsuchiya.bsky.social !

How to better measure subjective experience? Our new #preprint argues that we should focus on the "what-it-is-like" of #consciousness rather than experimenter-centric task design and analyses. @qualiastructure.bsky.social @naotsuchiya.bsky.social @ellia.bsky.social dx.doi.org/10.13140/RG....

Congrats to @ZhangChuyin ! This is our latest PREPRINT from our lab. While it originated as a reply to a critical paper, it ended up with a nice paper with philosophical claim on how to (and how not to) measure experience and new analysis methods of free-report based data!

New #preprint out! In this paper @naotsuchiya.bsky.social and I take a look at the current debate on theories of #consciousness from a #meta-theoretical standpoint, and we argue that there is an ongoing process of #schismogenesis in consciousness science. [1/n]

What is consciousness? Can we tell if other animals experience subjectivity, or whether there will be conscious machines or robots? These fundamental philosophical questions are now being explored by neuroscientist Professor Nao Tsuchiya and his team.
