  • Simulation Hypotheses

    The simulation hypothesis proposes that all of reality, including the earth and the universe, is in fact an artificial simulation, most likely a computer simulation. Some versions rely on the development of a simulated reality, a proposed technology that would seem realistic enough to convince its inhabitants the simulation was real. The hypothesis has been…

  • Are We living in a Virtual Reality

    Here is the referenced paper in the video. http://users.cms.caltech.edu/~owhadi/index_htm_files/IJQF2017.pdf  I am wondering about International Journal of Quantum Foundations link on top of paper. ah here it is. http://www.ijqf.org/ Dialogos of Eide

  • An Argument Against Reality

    See: The Evolutionary Argument Against Reality *** Cognitive scientist Donald Hoffman explains why human perceptions of an independent reality are all illusions. See: The Case against Reality  *** See Also:  Talking About How We See Reality Dialogos of Eide

  • Does Consciousness Disappear in Dreamless Sleep?

    Does Consciousness Disappear in Dreamless Sleep?: Consciousness is often said to disappear in deep, dreamless sleep. We argue that this assumption is oversimplified. Unless dreamless sleep is defined as unconscious from the outset there are good empirical and theoretical reasons for saying that a range of different types of sleep experience, some of which are…

  • Thalamocortical oscillations can be Affective?

    Delta waveTheta waveAlpha waveMu waveBeta waveGamma wave Current interest in a presentation given through Stanford in a series of 6 videos had brought up for me the question of what consciousness is. A fundamental recognition of what consciousness is, as it is measured. So we speak about the different frequency ranges that are examined as…

  • Numerical Relativity and Consciousness

    To model any process that as a BS(Belief System) system,  as in Numerical Relativity,  is to say that such computerization incorporates such photonic principles as to adhere to some aspect of the discovery of consciousness as a basis of that modelling? The subsystem toward understanding consciousness is then the realization that such modeling is the…

  • Consciousness as a Derivative of Reductionism?

    The idea of a smallest length fell in line with the question of a measure as a derivative of reductionism with regard to consciousness. Going to length, the idea of a fundamental reality works its way into how a approach to consciousness is sought as some fundamental unit.  The science and history of the minimal…

  • Materialism

    Materialism is a form of philosophical monism which holds that matter is the fundamental substance in nature, and that all phenomena, including mental phenomena and consciousness, are the result of material interactions. Materialism is typically considered by many philosophers to be closely related to physicalism; the view that all that exists is ultimately physical. Philosophical…

  • The Hard Problem of Consciousness

    The hard problem of consciousness is the problem of explaining how and why we have qualia or phenomenal experiences — how sensations acquire characteristics, such as colours and tastes.[1]David Chalmers, who introduced the term “hard problem” of consciousness,[2] contrasts this with the “easy problems” of explaining the ability to discriminate, integrate information, report mental states,…

  • Neural Oscillations in Gamma

    EEG in Gamma-A gamma wave is a pattern of neural oscillation in humans with a frequency between 25 and 100 Hz,[1] though 40 Hz is typical.[2] Here exists a measure with which consciousness can be associated, then,  by such neural oscillations it would have some effect in demonstrating that matter would/could correlate to such frequencies? A…
