A structural constraint on neural correlates of consciousness
Abstract: Researchers on the neural correlates of consciousness (NCC) need to distinguish mere statistical NCCs from NCCs proper. Some neural events may be co-occurrent, probabilistically coupled, or coincidental with a type of conscious experience but lack any deeper connection to it, while in other cases, the relation between neural states and a type of experience hints at a strong metaphysical relation, which distinguishes such NCCs proper from mere statistical NCCs. In order to address this issue of how to distinguish NCCs proper from mere statistical NCCs, we propose a position we call neurophenomenal structuralism. The position hinges on the uncontroversial idea that phenomenal experiences relate to each other in degrees of similarity and difference. These complex structures are used to identify and individuate experiences in the methods of neuroscience, psychophysics, and phenomenology. Such individuation by structure leads to phenomenal holism, which has implications for how to inves.... https://philosophymindscience.org/index.php/phimisci/article/view/79
