The mind-brain problem is to bridge relations between in higher-level mental events and in lower-level neural events. To address this, some mathematical models have been proposed to explain how the brain can represent the discriminative structure of qualia, but they remain unresolved due to a lack of validation methods. To understand the qualia discrimination mechanism, we need to ask how the...
