(Tokyo) -(1998) Qualia are the subjective sensory qualities like the redness of red that accompany our perception. Qualia symbolize the explanatory gap that exists between the subjective qualities of our perception and the physical system that we call the brain. Elucidating the neural basis of qualia is central in understanding the principles of the integrated parallelism in cortical information processing. The so-called binding problem is a typical aspect of the above mentioned integrated parallelism. The study of qualia is important not only in understanding the neural basis of our conscious mental experience but also in bridging the gap between the two cultures (C.P. Snow). The Qualia Manifesto is a mission statement that puts qualia at the center of scientific and cultural movement in years to come. (qualia, manifesto, Ken, Mogi, mind, brain, consciousness)
