Empirical approaches to determining quality space computations for consciousness: a response to Dołęga et al. and Song

Published on December 20, 2024

Our hope and aim with our recent article in TiCS [1] was to provoke debate and research on the hypothesis that conscious experiences form quality spaces; thus, we were very pleased to receive letters from Dołęga, et al. [2] and Song [3] making constructive suggestions for taking this enquiry in new directions. Our focus was on how various computational theories of consciousness can accommodate the quality space hypothesis. Dołęga et al. make the helpful observation that this should also be investigated diachronically, both developmentally and during learning [2].
