Consciousness theory slammed as ‘pseudoscience’ — sparking uproar (www.nature.com)

Researchers publicly call out theory that they say is not well supported by science, but that gets undue attention....

geosoco, 8 months ago (edited 8 months ago)

Here's the psyarxiv link - It's short and worth reading.

It sounds like some of the general issue here is around the language of being "dominant" and "well-established" and that it might be receiving undue attention without more thorough research supporting it. There's also some concern about the testability of some of the claims the theory proposes.

Part of the letter's issue seems to be about sharing results prior to peer-review.

The actual letter doesn't seem to claim it should be labeled pseudoscience, but just mentions that some others have labeled it that:

"IIT is an ambitious theory, but some scientists have labeled it as pseudoscience"

(edit: language clarifications)
