   • Recent findings in cognitive neuroscience are also beginning to unravel how the body perceives magnitudes through sensory-motor systems. Variations in size, speed, quantity and duration, are registered in the brain by electro-chemical changes in neurons. The neurons that respond to these different magnitudes share a common neural network. In a survey of this research, cognitive neuroscientists Domenica Bueti and Vincent Walsh tell us that the brain does not treat temporal perception, spatial perception and perceived quantity as different.

Quotations

• 1994. Daniel Dennett, Get Real, in Philosophical Topics, vol. 22, no. 1 & 2, Spring & Fall 1994, pp. 505-568 [1]

  "figment, for instance. It is an attractive feature to qualophiles until I find a suitably abusive way of characterizing it, and I am always gratified when some brave qualophile admits that, yes, something along the lines of figment as just what she was hankering for. "

  "So what is the explanatory problem that bothers the qualophile (to use Dennett's term)? Right now I'm looking at the red diskette case beside my computer. My perceptual state possesses a certain reddish qualitative character. What explains that feature of my perceptual state? " [2]

  "The real killer is this. Rosenberg set out to explain qualia, but at the end of the day it seems to me your real qualophile would say: yes, that's all very interesting, Gregg - thing is, I can imagine all of that happening without my actually experiencing the real redness of red. I don't see anything in your theory which actually catches the vivid reality of subjective experience. Now of course, in my eyes all talk of qualia is so much hot air, but I don't see why that would be any less plausible than the case for qualia was in the first place." [3]
