Objetivo
This grant proposal studies the topic of human consciousness from a multidisciplinary perspective. Human consciousness can be defined as the inner subjective experience of mental states such as perceptions, judgments, thoughts, intentions to act, feelings or desires. These experiences are to be described from a subjective, phenomenal first-person account. On the other hand, cognitive neurosciences explore the neural correlates with respect to brain topology and brain dynamics from an objective third-person account.
It is the mission of the MindBridge consortium to develop strategies and concrete methodologies that can bridge this gap between subjective experience and objective observation of neural phenomena. A constitutive part is thus the systematic and scientific exploration of subjective experiences in qualitative and quantitative terms. This introspective approach is complementary to the behavoristic approach usually employed in cognitive neurosciences that reassures certain experimental cognitive target states of test persons. For the purpose of adequate characterisation of corresponding neural phenomena that are parallel to conscious experiences expertise from functional neuroimaging, electrophysiology and neural modeling is integrated to develop an integrated view on the topological and dynamic coding principles of the human brain that are related to the phenomenon consciousness.
These fundamental issues will be complemented by approaches that focus on altered states of consciousness that can be described both with respect to levels and contents of consciousness. The endeavour will be theoretically backed both by philosophical and theoretical accounts that develop a non-reductionistic, naturalistic theory of consciousness that considerably takes the first-person view on inner subjective experiences explicitly into account. The goal of the MindBridge project will be through methodological development to arrive at.
