The article introduces Lehar as a significant figure in the field of consciousness studies, emphasizing his harmonic resonance theory of neurocomputation and its implications for understanding the nature of perception, aesthetics, and the mind-body problem. The piece also highlights the importance of developmental milestones in cognitive understanding, referencing Scott Alexander's work on the 'map is not the territory' concept, and explores the role of psychedelic experiences and neuroimaging in understanding consciousness.

| | | Abstract: research into the subjective states of animals is highly important for the long term future. However, the dynamics of public opinion may threaten the scientific and political environments in which ideas must be developed and implemented. I outline a particular way in which this is especially likely to happen for animal consciousness research and | ||
