Consciousness and its hard problems: separating the ontological from the evolutionary
Few of the many theories devised to account for consciousness are explicit about the role they ascribe to evolution, and a significant fraction, by their silence on the subject, treat evolutionary processes as being, in effect, irrelevant. This is a problem for biological realists trying to assess the applicability of
A Collection of Documentaries About the NASA deception
The NASA deception has been a reality in the culture and perception of human kind since the last 60 years. Nowadays we can see that the proof that NASA presented as a Moon landing is no other than a laughable scam.
Fields or firings? Comparing the spike code and the electromagnetic field hypothesis
Where is consciousness? Neurobiological theories of consciousness look primarily to synaptic firing and “spike codes” as the physical substrate of consciousness, although the specific mechanisms of consciousness remain unknown. Synaptic firing results from electrochemical processes in neuron axons and dendrites. All neurons also produce electromagnetic (EM) fields due to various

How do brains create all our different colors, pains, and other conscious qualities? These various qualia are the most essential aspects of consciousness.
Dreaming during the COVID-19 pandemic: Support for the threat simulation function of dreams
Evolutionary theories suggest that dreams function as a world simulator of events that maximizes our ability to surmount social and threat-related challenges critical to survivorship and reproduction.
How voluntary control over information and body movements determines “what it’s like” to have perceptual, bodily, emotional and mental experiences
Two very fundamental aspects of phenomenal experiences underline the fact that they seem to have “something it’s like.” One aspect is the fact that experiences have a locus: they Can seem “external” (perceptual), “internal” (interoceptive, bodily or emotional) or “mental.” A second fundamental aspect is the imposingness of experiences.
An adjunction hypothesis between qualia and reports
What are the nature of the relationship among qualia, contents of consciousness, and behavioral reports? Traditionally, this type of question has been only addressed via a qualitative and philosophical approach. Some theorists emphasize an incomplete and inaccurate nature of reports of one's own qualia to discourage formal research programs on
Spontaneous neuronal avalanches as a correlate of access consciousness
Decades of research have advanced our understanding of the biophysical mechanisms underlying consciousness.
