84Studying Consciousness Through Inattentional Blindness, Change Blindness, and the Attentional BlinkIn Susan Schneider & Max Velmans (eds.), The Blackwell companion to consciousness, Wiley. 2017.For several decades, researchers have debated whether attention is required for consciousness or not. Throughout this time, three particular paradigms — inattentional blindness, change blindness, and the attentional blink — have been extensively used to examine this relationship. In this chapter, we highlight many of the key findings that have been discovered using these paradigms, and discuss what these findings have taught us about the role attention plays in perceptual consciousness.

1105Consciousness cannot be separated from functionTrends in Cognitive Sciences 15 (8): 358--364. 2011.Here, we argue that any neurobiological theory based on an experience/function division cannot be empirically confirmed or falsified and is thus outside the scope of science. A ‘perfect experiment’ illustrates this point, highlighting the unbreachable boundaries of the scientific study of consciousness. We describe a more nuanced notion of cognitive access that captures personal experience without positing the existence of inaccessible conscious states. Finally, we discuss the criteria necessary…Read more

65Metaddiction: Addiction at Work in Martin Amis’ MoneyJanus Head 7 (1): 132-142. 2004.This paper aims to explore the complex manner in which Martin Amis defines the state of addiction–as the sustained collapse of objectivity and subjectivity for any inhabitant of a social system–as well as how the systemic patterns of life impose, imprint, and perpetuate themselves upon the individual.
