Quantities of qualia
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 22 (1):169-170 (1999)
| Abstract | We address two points in this commentary. First, we question the extent to which O'Brien & Opie have established that the classical approach is unable to support a viable vehicle theory of consciousness. Second, assuming that connectionism does have the resources to support a vehicle theory, we explore how the activity of the units of a PDP network might sum together to form phenomenal experience (PE). | |||||||||
