For all those ends you'll need observables: patient reports, behaviors associated with pain and so on. You probably have in mind the question "why this pain processing results in the observed effects?"
I was talking about the question "why does all that processing result in the felt experience [...]?"
- TaupeRanger 8y agoNo, I have in mind the exact question I outlined at the beginning of my response.
- red75prime 8y agoThen I don't understand you. What is important to address the problems you outlined is the question of "How brain activity corresponds to the felt experiences (as reported by subjects)?", not "Why there are felt experiences corresponding to brain activity?" Even if we had the answer for the second question (say, "There is immaterial soul which is responsible for our felt experiences and that's why we feel"), it will not help with pain treatment.
