MISSION

Qualia (quality of consciousness) have not been captured by conventional scientific frameworks. Our group proposes a new research paradigm to characterize qualia in terms of the relationship between different qualia.


A search for an isomorphism between conscious experience and structure of information Talk about the core idea, "an isomorphism between conscious experience and structure of information" by Tsuchiya

Team

A01 Qualia Structure

PI: Nao Tsuchiya

Target: Large-scale psychophysical experiments and mathematical phenomenology models to elucidate qualia structure

B01 Measurement and Manipulation

PI: Makiko Yamada

Target: Brain activity measurement related to qualia structure, and pharmacological load manipulation to elucidate the causal relationship

C01 Information Structure

PI: Masafumi Oizumi

Target: Extraction of information structure, corresponding to qualia structure, from brain activity
