A summary of the last week's learning: - The start of the idea - Discovering previous work - Understanding the nature of evidence - Understanding the methodological pitfalls - Some thoughts on the whole picture

In this episode we finish the last part of the first chapter, that deals with the possible effects of memory and attention on the gathering of evidence. We realise that both of these things are not very well understood, at least at the time this book was written.

I go through various methodological requirements mapped out by Susan Pockett, including limitations of EEG and MEG, problems in separating useful data from bodily noise, and even mentally generated noise. It turns out that experimental science is hard.

We dive into the actual criteria that are mapped out so that EM Field theory of consciousness can be judged fairly.

In this podcast, I go along with Susan Pockett's establishment of the framework in which her EM field theory and the experimental evidence will be scrutinised.

I start with understanding the point of view from which Susan Pockett is approaching this subject, and I find that it's kind of similar to my interests.

I go further down the road in understanding different versions of electromagnetic theory of consciousness. I understand that Johnjoe McFadden's definition of consciousness doesn't match completely with mine. So I turn towards Susan Pockett's work

This is the starting point for the journey. And this message is retroactive. I start with the question that motivated me to find some answers.
