Quotations edit
- 2003, Anthony Jack, Andreas Roepstorff, Trusting the Subject? The use of introspective evidence in cognitive science:
- In this paper, we explore a research programme called 'neurophenomenology' that aims to make progress on these issues (Varela, 1996; 1997; 1999; Blithol, 2002; Lutz, 2002; Rudrauf et al., 2003). Neurophenomenology stresses the importance of gathering first person data from phenomenologically training subjects as a heuristic strategy for describing and quantifying the physiological process relevant to consciousness.

- 1999, Hameroff, Kaszniak, and Chalmers, Toward a Science of Consciousness III: the third Tuscon discussions and debates:
