Description
Preamble Neuroscience cum neurophysiology stands at the cusp of a transition in thought regarding conscious experience. Whereas detectible correlates of conscious experience can be identified and measured scientifically, a relationship between objective measurements and individual consciousness experience remains open to further consideration. History of science is replete with fundamental transitions concerning scientific thought over time, a positive characteristic attesting to the dynamic emergence of many advances within science. Nevertheless, intradisciplinary transitions during such critical moments typically harbor considerable tension. Anomalies are often bracketed to "save the phenomena," albeit only temporarily. Expected results may elude standardized methods, yet unwanted alternative approaches are resisted, even dismissed outright. Dominant metaphysical presuppositions become effectively impervious to modification. The dialogue of the deaf, resulting in such cases, bears classic features of denial, bipolarity, and rejection well identified by Thouless, Fleck, and Kuhn.
