Yes. At least we assume there are qualia involved. The experiment only measures their "neural correlates" (since you can't ask a rat what it's experiencing, obviously that's all they can do, of course). However, I'm sure Bruno would be happy to allow a suitably programmed computer to have qualia. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
