  • See my talk at TSC 2023

    You can find here the transcript and slides of my plenary talk at the May 2023 Taormina “Towards a Science of Consciousness”  conference. The talk was based on my 2023 paper in Frontiers in Psychology explaining how sensorimotor theory can make inroads into solving the hard problem of phenomenal consciousness. It claims that experiences have “something it’s like” because we  can lose voluntary control over the flow of information, over our bodies, over attention deployment and over motivation.
