57Strange inversions: prediction and the explanation of conscious experienceIn Bryce Huebner (ed.), The Philosophy of Daniel Dennett, Oup Usa. pp. 202-218. 2018.Strange inversions occur when things work in ways that turn received wisdom upside down. Hume offered a strangely inverted story about causation, and Darwin, about apparent design. Dennett suggests that a strange inversion also occurs when we project our own reactive complexes outward, painting our world with elusive properties like cuteness, sweetness, blueness, sexiness, funniness, and more. Such properties strike us as experiential causes, but they are really effects—a kind of shorthand for w…Read more

188Bayesing Qualia: Consciousness as Inference, Not Raw DatumJournal of Consciousness Studies 26 (9-10): 19-33. 2019.The meta-problem of consciousness (Chalmers, 2018) is the problem of explaining the behaviours and verbal reports that we associate with the so-called 'hard problem of consciousness'. These may include reports of puzzlement, of the attractiveness of dualism, of explanatory gaps, and the like. We present and defend a solution to the meta-problem. Our solution takes as its starting point the emerging picture of the brain as a hierarchical inference engine. We show why such a device, operating unde…Read more

20Socially Extended Epistemology (edited book)Oxford University Press. 2018.This volume explores the epistemology of distributed cognition, the idea that groups of people can generate cognitive systems that consist of all participating members. Can distributed cognitive systems generate knowledge in a similar way to individuals? If so, how does this kind of knowledge differ from normal, individual knowledge?

66Extended Epistemology (edited book)Oxford University Press. 2018.Extended Cognition examines the way in which features of a subject's cognitive environment can become constituent parts of the cognitive process itself. This volume explores the epistemological ramifications of this idea, bringing together academics from a variety of different areas, to investigate the very idea of an extended epistemology.

7Machines and Thought: The Legacy of Alan Turing, Volume 1 (edited book)Oxford University Press UK. 1996.This is the first of two volumes of essays in commemoration of Alan Turing, whose pioneering work in the theory of artificial intelligence and computer science continues to be widely discussed today. A group of prominent academics from a wide range of disciplines focus on three questions famously raised by Turing: What, if any, are the limits on machine `thinking'? Could a machine be genuinely intelligent? Might we ourselves be biological machines, whose thought consists essentially in nothing m…Read more

68Surfing Uncertainty: Prediction, Action, and the Embodied MindOxford University Press USA. 2015.How is it that thoroughly physical material beings such as ourselves can think, dream, feel, create and understand ideas, theories and concepts?
