论克里克的意识研究方法论

On Crick's Methodology of Consciousness Study

弗朗西斯·克里克反对功能主义者用“黑箱”的方法研究意识问题 ,主张设计科学实验进行分子水平的研究 ,并提出了意识研究的两个基本假设。他本人在实际研究中选择视觉意识作为突破口 ,并重视脑损伤和神经网络的研究。

Francis Crick does not agree with functionalists who study consciousness problem using black box methods. Instead he suggests we should design scientific experiments to study consciousness on molecule level. He also gives two basic assumptions to the study of consciousness. He himself chooses visual consciousness as a breakthrough in the practical studies and prizes the studies of brain damages and neural networks.
