From pictures to reality: modelling the phenomenology and psychophysics of 3D perception.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences December 13, 2022 Dhanraj Vishwanath

The dominant inferential approach to human 3D perception assumes a model of spatial encoding based on a physical description of objects and space. Prevailing models based on this physicalist approach assume that the visual system infers an objective, unitary and mostly veridical representation of the external world. However, careful consideration of the phenomenology of 3D perception challenges...

Uncanny Brains versus a Lived-Body: Reflections on the “Hard Problem” of Consciousness

Journal of Phenomenological Psychology December 7, 2022 Yochai Ataria

Abstract The natural sciences seek to explain all natural phenomena, including human beings. This lofty objective encompasses the scientific project in all its glory, within which brain science constitutes an integral part. Essentially, however, neuroscientists not only seek to achieve a greater understanding of how the human brain works but rather, and perhaps mainly, aspire to understand...

The Forgotten Phenomenology: “Enactive Perception” in the Eyes of Husserl and Merleau-Ponty

Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy December 2, 2022 Roi Bar 2 citations

This paper compares the enactive approach to perception, which has recently emerged in cognitive science, with the phenomenological approach. Inspired by Husserl and Merleau-Ponty, the enactive theorists Alva Noë and Evan Thompson take perception to be a result of the interaction between the brain, the body and the environment. Their argument turns mostly on the role of self-motion and...

Understanding subjective experience in psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy: The need for phenomenology

Australian & New Zealand Journal of Psychiatry November 17, 2022 Riccardo Miceli Mcmillan, Anthony Vincent Fernandez 30 citations

Psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy is being investigated as a treatment for a range of psychiatric illnesses. Current research suggests that the kinds of subjective experiences induced by psychedelic compounds play key roles in producing therapeutic outcomes. To date, most knowledge of therapeutic psychedelic experiences are derived from psychometric assessments with scales such as the Mystical...

Multidisciplinary Intersections on Artificial-Human Vividness: Phenomenology, Representation, and the Brain.

Brain Sciences November 3, 2022 Violetta Molokopoy, Amedeo D'Angiulli

This article will explore the expressivity and tractability of vividness, as viewed from the interdisciplinary perspective of the cognitive sciences, including the sub-disciplines of artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, and phenomenology. Following the precursor work by Benussi in experimental phenomenology, seminal papers by David Marks in psychology and, later, Hector...

Merleau-Ponty's Phenomenology of Perception

November 3, 2022 Timothy Mooney

This is an advanced introduction to and original interpretation of Merleau-Ponty's greatest work, Phenomenology of Perception. Timothy Mooney provides a clear and compelling exposition of the theory of our projective being in the world, and demonstrates as never before the centrality of the body schema in the theory. Thanks to the schema's motor intentionality our bodies inhabit and appropriate...

Stuck in between. Phenomenology’s Explanatory Dilemma and its Role in Experimental Practice

Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences October 22, 2022 Mark-Oliver Casper, Philipp Haueis 7 citations

Abstract Questions about phenomenology’s role in non-philosophical disciplines gained renewed attention. While we claim that phenomenology makes indispensable, unique contributions to different domains of scientific practice such as concept formation, experimental design, and data collection, we also contend that when it comes to explanation, phenomenological approaches face a dilemma. Either...
