| May 14, 2015 at 13:44 | comment | added | Tarek | @Josh thanks, I did not know the term qualia! Post both of your comments as answers, I'll accept them. | |
| May 14, 2015 at 13:23 | comment | added | Josh | No, not really. There are some theories (which is what the question AliceD linked to is about), but there's no clear picture of why or how qualia exist. | |
| May 14, 2015 at 13:20 | comment | added | Tarek | @Josh do we have an understanding of how these images are produced by the brain? How does it translate action potential into a visual image? Maybe we could start from that. | |
| May 14, 2015 at 12:59 | comment | added | Josh | Your question is known as the hard problem of consciousness. The best answer right now is: we have no idea. | |
| May 14, 2015 at 10:17 | comment | added | Tarek | @AliceD yes, I think that's part of the answer. I'm wondering, specifically, how do each of these theories explain the brain creating an image for us to see. Partly to satisfy my curiosity, partly because I think this is crucial to strong AI. If consciousness is not a sub product of the brain, how do we simulate it on a computer? What is consciousness role in human thought, what's its relationship to the neural network? Could it be the Oracle black box Turing was referring to? | |

| May 14, 2015 at 4:32 | comment | added | AliceD♦ | Thanks for re-posting the question here, it makes more sense +1. I think you are considering the difference between objective analysis (peripheral sensory organs) versus perception and sensation (central mechanisms). Now it is getting more clear what you're after, I think this previous post contains the answer you are after - cogsci.stackexchange.com/questions/987/… | |
