a good introspective practice should be able to tell you this » "this" here is the fact *that* the function is localized to a specific area, and not *which* specific area it is?
i guess i'm just confused about what the experience of introspection surfacing this would look like. would one be able to just tell that these are "doing the same thing in the mind", or is it something brain-specific than that?
Oh yeah I don’t have much sharp idea what it would be like either. This refers to the fact of the asymmetry in how we attend to space, and perhaps some of the consequences of it.
Better and trickier would be revealing that the function or a critical piece of it is localized to a specific area, yeah.
Further along we have something like mapping the 3D geometry of your brain from the inside using the relative timings of conduction delays. I expect this is possible but very time consuming and hard.
Wondering if multimodal models will correct for our mental "blindspots" in the future.
Dennet's Consciousness Explained discusses a similar topic of how our conscious experiences are edited in our brain. Making them less trustworthy than we'd like to admit. It's a good book, I think you'd find it interesting
