So, similarly, we can’t predict that you or I verbally report positive/negative/neutral attaching to percepts from the claim that the sensory hierarchy is composed of units which are controllers. A controller has valence in that it has goals and how-it’s-doing on those goals, but why should we expect that humans verbally report the direct experience of that? Humans don’t have direct conscious experience of everything going on in neural circuitry.
Yeah this is s good point and I agree it’s one of the things that I am looking for others to verify with better brain imaging technology. I find myself in the position of working ahead of what we can completely verify now because I’m willing to take the bet that it’s right or at least right enough that however it’s wrong won’t throw out the work I do.
