Neurophenomenology - An Attempt For Universal Synthesis of Time-Experience

Summary

This work presents a neurophenomenological theory of time that integrates phenomenological accounts of temporal experience with findings from cognitive neuroscience. It argues that this integration allows for the external manifestation of neurobiological temporal attributes while maintaining a description close to lived temporal experience. The theory anthropocentrically orients the categorical isomorphism of temporality. The neurobiological basis of temporality provides formal descriptive possibilities for expressing its nonlinear dynamics, which articulates the nature of actual temporal experience analysable through phenomenological reduction.

Abstract

The neurophenomenological theory of time unites the phenomenological understanding of the structure of temporal experience and its constituent elements with the findings of experimental cognitive neuroscience. On the one hand, this leads to a process of external manifestation of strictly defined neurobiological temporal attributes, and on the other – to a phenomenological description that remains close to our actual temporal experience. Neurophenomenology anthropocentrically orients the categorical isomorphism of temporality. The neurobiological foundation of temporality leads to formal descriptive possibilities for expressing its nonlinear dynamics, which, in turn, articulates the nature of actual temporal experience, analysable with the aid of phenomenological reduction.
