Opinion: Consciousness May Become Predictable as Brain Physics Modeling Advances
burny_tech · x · 2026-08-29
Discusses the correlation between specific brain physics patterns and various qualia.
- Current State: We can already correlate brain physics patterns with qualia and causally influence neurophenomenology using neurotechnologies.
- Prediction: As we improve at predicting brain physics with models, our ability to predict qualia will also increase.
- Conclusion: In the limit, and given practical limits of compute and measurement, qualia will become almost fully predictable.
