Does this mean that the artificial neural network models for machine learning, once parametrized to function as feedforward nets, are philosophical zombies?

Thanks so much! 😄

I guess similar experiments could be done with auditory illusions. Have you tried any?

The argument lacks calibration. How much more phi is required to get an identifiably different experience and does this effect yield that much additional phi?

@José, yes, this could be done for auditory illusions and likely many other kinds of illusions, as well! We just focused on visual filling-in here to demonstrate the idea/argument

Great talk! I have a 1pm to prep for. Thank you.

There is more brain feedback in one case, even though the experience is identical

Thank you all so much for the fantastic presentation, organization, and discussion! ^^

@Matthew, whether or not the difference in phi generated by these pairs is ‘enough’ such that it is not ‘excluded’ in the whole-brain correlate of consciousness is an open question! Would require careful phi calculations and comparisons/modeling.

@Amber Hopkins Thanks

Thank you, this was very interesting!
