研究実績の概要 |
In the past year I worked on an applying some of the results from last year into other modalities, and in particular to sound perception. This led in part to an idea, which has yet to be fully developed, of non-illusory failures of perceptual constancy.
I presented results at two international conferences. At the annual Asia Pacific Conference on Perception in July 2014, I gave a presentation on the idea of subjective and objective modes of perception - a problematic idea common in both the philosophical and empirical study of perception which I am hoping that my research will obviate. At the 1st Todai Workshop on Philosophy of Perception (also in July), I gave a presentation on the problem of whether we hear sounds separately from the events that produce them.
Finally, I gave a talk at the Tokyo Colloquium on Cognitive Philosophy in November 2014, presenting further reasons to think that there are five and only five perceptual modalities, insofar as what classifies a perceptual modality as such can be grounded in perceptual experience.

理由
As per the initial grant application, the idea of quality space as a model for helping to understand the nature of perceptual representation continues to prove very useful. The feedback I received on this aspect of the research, particularly at the international conferences where it was presented, has been very useful in keeping the research progressing along the lines originally planned.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
In the next stage of the research, I plan to focus on Instances of “non-illusory failures of constancy”. This is a poorly understood idea, which some will feel to be verging on contradictory, since the result of a failure of perceptual constancy is naturally thought to be an illusory experience of some kind. I hope to show that this is not the case, and thereby to show that perceptual experience is structured differently than is often thought. This issue is closely related to the idea of “felt precision” or confidence in perceptual experience, which is included in my original grant application plan.

次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
I cancelled my plan to attend an international conference in March 2015, because a more prestigious and useful conference was unexpectedly announced for April/May 2015. I will attend and present at this conference instead.
|
次年度使用額の使用計画 |
From April 29th until May 8, I will attend two international events in Germany. The first is a forum on various aspects of the embodied mind relating particularly to information technology. The second is an invitation-only week-long workshop on the perception of shadows. Both events are directly relevant to the research taken under this grant.
