Abstract

Neuroelectrical panpsychism (NP) offers a clear, simple, testable mind–body solution. It says that everything is at least minimally conscious, and electrical activity across separate neurons creates a unified, intelligent mind. NP draws on recent experimental evidence to address the easy problem of specifying the mind's neural correlates. These correlates are neuroelectrical activities that, for example, generate our different qualia, unite them to form perceptions and emotions, and help guide brain operations. NP also addresses the hard problem of why minds accompany these neural correlates. Here, the real nature of matter-energy (beyond how it appears to sense organs) is consciousness that occupies space, exerts forces, and unites neuroelectrically to form minds. This doesn't reduce consciousness to observable neural activities, nor posit any radically different entities. NP also deals with panpsychism's combination problem by explaining how the mind's subject and experiences arise by electrically combining simple experiences in brains.
简单、可测试的心身解决方案?
神经电泛灵论(NP)提供了一个清晰、简单、可测试的身心解决方案。它认为万物至少都有最低限度的意识,不同神经元之间的电活动创造了一个统一的智能心灵。NP 利用最新的实验证据,解决了明确心灵的神经相关性这一简单问题。这些相关因素是神经电活动,例如,它们产生了我们不同的感觉,将它们结合起来形成知觉和情感,并帮助指导大脑的运作。NP 还解决了思维为何伴随着这些神经相关因素这一难题。在这里,物质-能量的真正本质(超越了它在感觉器官中的显现方式)是意识,它占据空间,施加力量,并通过神经-电学结合形成思维。这并没有把意识简化为可观察到的神经活动,也没有假设任何截然不同的实体。NP还通过解释心智的主体和经验是如何通过大脑中简单经验的电结合而产生的,从而解决了泛灵论的结合问题。
