Though I also agree with
@neuroconscience, in that I've also seen neuroscientists dismiss the problem, or even claim they solved it, while evidently they did not understand the problem or what even could count as 'solving' it.1 reply 0 retweets 5 likes -

I didn't mean to wade into a specific debate about the hard problem. I have respect for it, and also for substantive critiques of it. Less so for the 3-pints in 'let me tell you why philosophy is all rubbish' attack : )

Only slightly less grating than the 'I'm a hardcore computational neuroscientist and I believe philosophy is just people making stuff up in flowery language, also my epistemology is about 300 years dated' bloke.

Once reviewed a paper with an N=19 multilevel (!) model where the key parameter was almost precisely 0. The authors then said 'the danger of type II error is considerable so the effect is probably true' and proceeded to interpret the absent effect anyway

It's the only paper I ever reviewed (i.e. rejected) that I google search once a year JUST IN CASE, but so far no sign of it - I think we might be safe....
