David J. Chalmers Department of Philosophy University of Arizona Tucson, AZ 85721 chalmers@arizona.edu [Published in the Journal of Consciousness Studies 2(3):200-19, 1995. 1 Introduction Consciousness poses the most baffling problems in the science of the mind. To make progress on the problem of consciousness, we have to confront it directly. 2 The easy problems and the hard problem There is not just one problem of consciousness.
The easy problems of consciousness include those of explaining the following phenomena: the ability to discriminate, categorize, and react to environmental stimuli; the integration of information by a cognitive system; the reportability of mental states; the ability of a system to access its own internal states; the focus of attention; the deliberate control of behavior; the difference between wakefulness and sleep. All of these phenomena are associated with the notion of consciousness. The really hard problem of consciousness is the problem of experience. The Holographic Brain. Daniel Goleman: History tells us that, with every paradigm shift in science, a new frontier of legitimate investigation opens. And from that new frontier come answers to questions the old paradigm did not allow to be asked.
It seems to me you're posing questions that have not been allowed before a precarious position. Karl Pribram: Let me tell you how I got into the holographic story. First, though, I want to make it clear that this is a development of theory and is fairly independent of the day today laboratory research program that engages me. The theory is largely based on the research of others. Nonetheless, because I am actively doing brain research, I have had the opportunity of at least checking for myself the essential results on which it is based. Back in the 1950s, people dealing with the brain and those dealing with mental processes weren't together. For one thing, brain science was plagued by some classic, unsolved mysteries. Goleman: Where have puzzles like that led you? Institute of Noetic Sciences | Consciousness | Science | Spirituality | Wisdom. The Roots of Consciousness: Theory, Consciousness and the New Physics.
Consciousness and the New Physics Space-Time According to Einstein The special theory of relativity, formulated by Albert Einstein in 1905, is based on the experimentally confirmed idea that the velocity of light is the same universal constant, c= 3x1010 cm. /sec., for all observers who move uniformly in straight lines relative to each other.
Consequently, Einstein's genius deduced that events which are simultaneous to one observer are not simultaneous to a second observer. Nobel laureates Albert Einstein, scientist, and Rabindranath Tagore, mystical poet Furthermore, moving clocks run slow. Like all scientific facts, these results presuppose that the observers are in a common state of consciousness whose legitimacy is determined by their agreement or social contract. Physicists use a simple geometric picture of the flat spacetime of special relativity called a "Minkowski diagram. " Space-like processes, if they exist, could be in two or more widely separated places at the same time. Consciousness.
