Nonetheless, mounting evidence points to possible contributions to creative cognition from external attention.

- title: Stokes’s malleability thesis and the normative grounding of propositional attitudes
- date: 2023-07-05
- words: 3794
- flesch: 45
- summary: If facts about belief are grounded in normative facts (such as facts about one’s entitlement to make moves in the game of giving and asking for reasons) then Stokes’s malleability claim will require such normative facts to exert a causal influence on the facts about representation that ground perception. Stokes's malleability thesis and the normative grounding of propositional attitudes.

- date: 2023-07-05
- words: 2709
- flesch: 35
- summary: By classifying visual object recognition as a late vision phenomenon, they do not mean that object recognition enhanced by perceptual expertise is an additional indicator of the malleability of the mind. Modularists interpret it as the capacity for visual object recognition – a post- perceptual cognitive process of late vision.

- title: Truth, success, and epistemology: A response to Stokes's Thinking and Perceiving
- date: 2023-07-05
- words: 2409
- flesch: 40
- summary: None of these virtue epistemologists frame epistemic improvement in terms of (non-truth-governed) success, and so they cannot help Stokes to make the case that improvements in the speed or practicality of perceptual performance are epistemic improvements. Stokes’ adoption of virtue epistemology, however, does not seem to be suffi- cient to justify his characterization of epistemic constraints in terms of success rather than truth.

- words: 1436
- flesch: 43
- summary: The next two papers focus on a recently very influential approach in scientific psychiatry, namely the use of computational approaches based on machine learn- ing and modern developments in the field of artificial intelligence. In the results presented here, the authors focused on the questions (i) whether computational approaches will be able to contribute to an improved nosology and (ii) whether this would be desirable.

- summary: Perceptual experts understood as virtuous agents better find truth, and accurately perceive the world, but which truths (which objective features of the world) they find may be partly determined by their aims and tasks within an epistemic context. Drayson worries that my “analysis cannot be understood merely as a supplement to existing epistemological models” (p. 2) and, in particular that if “Stokes were to take this pragmatist approach to rationality, he could retain his claim that ‘experiences of perceptual experts con- tribute in a positive way to their rational standing as epistemic agents’ (178), but he would no longer be engaging with Siegel’s concept of theoretical rationality” (p. 4-5).

- summary: Core consciousness theory (Damasio, 2000) Orchestrated objective reduction (Hameroff & Penrose, 2014) Electromagnetic theory (McFadden, 2020, 2002) Some of these labels and groupings ignore substantial differences. For now, an analogy might be useful, that the systematicity requirement is not specific to consciousness science.

- summary: The second one is that at least on some versions of IIT, perceptual content mechanisms are inex- tricably interwoven with consciousness-conferring processes. If the level of information integra- tion during perception is too low to change the contents into conscious contents (clustered in a mental state), perception remains subliminal.

- summary: For instance, changes in neural excitability, atten- tion, or beliefs about attention can affect reports of stimulus awareness, even if such factors are independent of how a stimulus is represented or encoded. Theoretically, in Section 2 we describe first- and higher- order approaches to the modeling of awareness reports, and explain how these approaches handle the difference between awareness of absence and absence of awareness.

- summary: We argue that episodic memory experiences depend on a causal-informational link with the past events being remembered, and that, assuming direct realism about episodic memory experiences, this link suffices for genuine awareness. Specially, we shall argue that episodic memory experiences (recall experiences, for short) involve genuine awareness of the past-perceived events being remembered, while prospection experiences present imagined future events as mere intentional contents.

- summary: Self, belonging, and conscious experience: A critique of subjectivity theories of consciousness. In his article “Being for no-one: psychedelic experience and minimal subjec- tivity”, Chris Letheby (2020) asks whether reports of drug-induced ego dissolu- tion provide us with solid evidence against so-called “subjectivity theories of con- sciousness”, according to which phenomenal consciousness constitutively involves a minimal form of self-awareness or “subjectivity”.

- summary: This prospective form of control relies on the contextu- alization provided by higher levels in the inferential hierarchy, which anticipate the downstream consequences of actions and select policies accordingly (Friston, 2010; Pezzulo et al., 2015). The result is an inferential framework of hierarchically nested contextual complexity, in which lower levels track basic (and sometimes evolutionarily hard-wired) motivations or affordances, while higher levels track motivations and plans over deeper timescales.

But because sensations always have to be mine (I don’t feel anybody else’s), I can reasonably infer that these sensory impressions with a lack of felt self must have been mine.

- summary: It will also be crucial to recognize that there are multiple “self-concepts” (that is, “I-concepts”) and levels of HOTs which can help to provide a more nuanced ex- planation of the relationship between conscious mental states and self-awareness. Intuitively, it seems that conscious states, as opposed to unconscious ones, are mental states that I am “aware of” in some sense.

- summary: The search for neural correlates of consciousness (NCCs) therefore plays a fundamental role for a pre-paradigmatic science like the empirical science of consciousness: It is one of the few sets of largely uncontested data that would-be theory- and paradigm-builders have to take into account. Sascha Benjamin Fink, Lukas Kob, and Holger Lyre (2021) also argue for the view that structures are important in the search for neural correlates of consciousness – so much so that they constrain what can count as a proper neural correlate of an experience (in contrast to a mere statistical correlate).

- summary: The second is to allow for the possibility of systems that implement computations associated with consciousness, without being conscious, which re- quires differentiating between computational systems that merely simulate conscious beings and computational systems that are conscious in and of themselves. However, if one believes that implementing the right kind of computational system is insufficient for instantiating consciousness, then there will be non-conscious systems that still display all the computational properties instantiated by conscious beings.

- summary: Our position is rather that color experiences are relationally individuated among themselves, even if the colors are hallucinated or dreamt of. The core idea is that if we knew the particular structure of experienced color dissimilarities, we would be able to use that structure to home in on the NCC proper of color experience because, according to the SSC, the NCC proper of any phenomenal domain must share the structure of the relevant phe- nomenal space.

According to one possibility, philosophy inherits a crisis similar to the one in science because philosophers rely on unreplicated or unreplicable findings from science when conducting philosophical research.

- summary: The general shape of this project is persuasive; it is hard to see how the claim that successful therapy must involve changes to the self could be objected to, and Letheby sketches a consistent, if speculative, picture of psychedelic experience. Moreover, as long as evidence continues to support the induction of a mystical-type experi- ence as the best predictor of therapeutic effects, it makes sense that the profound changes to the sense of self that occur in psychedelic experience are part of the story of how this happens.1 Understanding these experiences, uncovering which aspects of them are responsible for their benefits, and explaining just how they are responsible requires handling both neuroscientific evidence and some fairly speculative hypotheses about normal and psychedelic consciousness.

- summary: During the trip itself, self-related beliefs are relaxed, allowing patients to momentarily escape the self-fulfilling effects of damaging self models, explore new and healthier ways of thinking and acting, and consequently acquire new insights about themselves. More precisely, I argue that one element is underexplored in Letheby’s otherwise compelling picture: namely, that unlike new beliefs about the external world, beliefs about oneself have the capacity to turn into self-fulfilling prophecies.

- summary: Is it the induction of psychedelic experience, with its distinct patterns of hallucinations and insights, or is it the neural ‘shakeup’ that moves the brain out of its regular mode of functioning and into a more disordered state? We outline the common kinds of phenom- enal transparency shifts typical of psychedelic experiences, and argue that in many cases, such shifts are responsible for the psychotherapeutic benefits.

Quality of acute psychedelic experience predicts therapeutic efficacy of psilocybin for treatment-resistant depression.

In the past, work on the Methodological Question concerning medical diagnostic reasoning in general has been done by cognitive psychologists and medical education scientists, with only few notable exceptions among philoso- phers (e.g., Sober, 1979).3 Only more recently has the Methodological Question as put in this paper – with focus on diagnostic reasoning in clinical psychiatry – came to greater attention.

It is true that psychedelics strengthen some priors, as well as weakening others (Safron, 2020); that this is important to understanding their experiential and therapeutic effects; and that they can be “gen- erally characterised as weakening the constraining influence of priors encoding rigid highly-abstract beliefs of the world and self, and (relatively) strengthening prior beliefs associated with contextual sources, leading to an amplified influence of ‘set’ and ‘setting’ on the mental state of the user” (Martin & Sterzer, 2022).

- date: 2023-04-11
- words: 15250

- summary: First, the regularities and generalization about cognition that cognitive science will discover depend largely on which individual disciplines constitute it. Of course providing a MOC capturing our com- monsensical notion of cognition would do little to aid cognitive science - but it does not need to.

- date: 2023-04-11

- summary: Mental disorder is the failure or breakdown of this skill. This paper argues that, when we start with a focus on how and why individuals heal from mental disorders, we gain a better understanding of what mental health is: the exercise of self-regulatory metacognitive skill.

- title: The many problems with S-representation (and how to solve them)
- date: 2023-05-22
- words: 16289
- flesch: 38
- summary: For now, without downplaying the genuine tension between cognitive representation and certain quarters of 4E (e.g., see Varela et al., 1991), we contend that one’s predilection for 4E approaches does not exclude the possibility of S-representations playing a constructive role within cognitive science (for sample pushback, see Hutto, 2013). The S-representation account characterises cognitive representation as a class of state, structure or mechanism component that guides the behaviour of a cognitive system by structurally resembling features of its task environment, thus playing a map- or model-like role.1 Proponents argue this approach iden- aUniversity of Murcia.

- date: 2023-07-18
- words: 11363
- flesch: 48
- summary: The boundary problem So far, I have described emergent emotions as patterns produced by a system at t2 that are unpredictable when armed only with knowledge of the system set-up and any relevant environmental triggers at t1. For instance, in the component process model (CPM) of Scherer (1984, 2009b, 2009a), emotion is a process of coordination or synchronisation of emotion components, driven by appraisal from a relatively uncoordinated or loosely coupled state.
