Missing: Empirical theories of phenomenal consciousness

J Kevin O'Regan. Cogn Neurosci. 2021 Jan-Jan.

Abstract

Doerig et al. evaluate how current empirical theories approach access consciousness, but they neglect how they approach phenomenal consciousness - probably because most theories don't deal with phenomenal consciousness at all. One exception is the sensorimotor theory, but Doerig et al. did not evaluate it as being directed to phenomenal consciousness.

Keywords: Sensorimotor Theory; access consciousness; phenomenal consciousness.
