Consciousness has two fundamental aspects:
1.The brain serves as its physical substrate;
2.Phenomena like feelings, free will, intentions, etc. represent its manifestations.
Consequently, philosophers and scientists are akin to tunneling through the same mountain from opposite directions:
- Scientists begin with the physical substrate, seeking to map neural processes onto conscious experience;
- Philosophers start from conscious manifestations, attempting to correlate these phenomena with their neural correlates.
My project belong to the latter and explore why free will may generate behaviors unpredictable by physical systems, exploring both the phenomena and their underlying mechanisms.
