Mission Statement
Qualia are the subjective sensory qualities like
"the redness of red" that accompany our perception. Elucidating the
neural basis of qualia is central in understanding the principles of the
"integrated parallelism" in cortical information processing. The
so-called "binding problem" is a typical aspect of the above
mentioned "integrated parallelism". My research is focused on the
mathematical formulation of qualia, and its implementation in novel artificial
computing processes. Here, it is essential to obtain the space-time structure
characterizing our perceptual processes from the causal relationship between
neural firings, and to understand the symmetries involved in the neural basis
of qualia.
