I have this strong impression that a new field, sat in between medical research and phylosophy, should be created: "introspection".
It seems to me that certain scientifical truths regarding the nature of consciousness, how we experience things, etc, can only be addressed in a subjective manner, ie. by interrogating ourselves, and reflecting ourselves, in a scientific way, on why we feel a certain way, under what circumstances, what happen if i change parameter x or y, do i still feel the same, etc...
That also sounds like heresy in terms of scientific studies but the more i read about that topic (Dennett, Penrose, etc...) the more this becomes obvious to me, that internal "thought experiments" can actually uncovered strong realities of how we think and are conscious.
