Explore a 22-minute conference talk from Models of Consciousness Conferences examining the relationship between minimal phenomenal experience (MPE), subjectivity, and temporal perception. Delve into the challenging assumption that subjectivity disappears entirely during pure awareness states, proposing instead that a fundamental form of subjectivity may persist as a basic property of consciousness even when specific features like first-person perspective are absent. Learn how the continuous nature of awareness itself might generate a basic sense of time passage, similar to how a sustained musical note creates temporal experience despite lacking change, suggesting that MPE may not be entirely "timeless" as often claimed.
