实验神经现象学：神经现象学的方法论实践--以癫痫发作的预测研究为例

Experimental Neurophenomenology asa Methodological Praxis of Neurophenomenology:Evidence from Epileptic Seizure Anticipation

神经现象学认为只有在第一人称方法与第三人称方法之间形成一种"互惠约束"才能有效地考察主观体验与脑-神经活动之间的关系,从而推进认知科学的方法论革命。为了检验上述主张的意义,实验神经现象学以癫痫发作预测作为切入点,尝试在癫痫发作前患者的主观体验及其神经动力学变化之间架设起桥梁。研究发现,两者之间存在着一种特殊的"异质同形"关系。未来的实验神经现象学方案需要区分现象学还原与内省,平衡两种方法的地位,并反思其对心理物理学的超越性。

Neurophenomenologists believe that only when a reciprocal constraint forms between the first-person and third-person methods can the relationship between subjective experience and brain activities be effectivelyinvestigated,and fundamental changes in methodology can bepromoted. As a methodological praxis of neurophenomenology, experimental neurophenomenology illustrates the efficiency of this approach in the field of epileptic seizure anticipation. Taking the pre-seizure of epilepsy as astarting point,experimental neurophenomenology tries to connect patients＇ subjective experience changes with their neural dynamic changes to testify the significance of the above statements. Research findings reveal that there is a specific relation of homeomorphism between the neuro-dynamic structure and pheno-dynamic structure. Future studies should discriminate between phenomenological reduction and introspection, balance the positions of the two methods in experimental protocols, and rethink about their transcendence over psychophysics.
