| summary | A one-day symposium (2 April 2014), taking place as part of the AISB 50th Anniversary conference (Goldsmiths, University of London, 1-4 April 2014).
There has been much criticism over the years of the idea that conscious experience depends on inner representational models of the environment. Enactive accounts and the sensorimotor account more particularly (O’Regan & Noë 2001; O’Regan 2011) have criticized the reliance on inner models and they have offered an alternative way of thinking about experience. Sensorimotor approaches claim that experience involves the perceiver’s attunement to the way in which sensory stimulation depends on action. But how then should we conceive of what happens in the agent’s head to allow for this attunement? In this symposium we bring together scientists and philosophers to address how a sensorimotor approach interprets neurophysiological findings, and how its predictions differ from those of traditional representationalist accounts.
Invited speakers:
Fred Keijzer (University of Groningen, the Netherlands) ;
J. Kevin O’Regan (Université Paris Descartes, France) ;
