Computational Phenomenology, Mathematical Phenomenology and Pre-Reflective Self-Awareness

Explore a 54-minute conference talk from the Models of Consciousness Conferences that delves into the intricate relationship between computational and mathematical phenomenology. Discover how computational phenomenology, which applies formal computational modeling tools to understand consciousness, fundamentally relies on mathematical phenomenology's approach of using mathematical tools to represent conscious experiences. Learn about the methodological foundations of mathematical phenomenology, particularly focusing on how mathematical structures can be accurately attributed to conscious experiences. Examine the fascinating concept of pre-reflective self-awareness - the consciousness of being conscious - and understand its significant implications for developing mathematical frameworks to study phenomenology.
