Neurophenomenology merges objective measurements, such as EEG, with first-person reports of experience to study consciousness while retaining the statistical rigor of cognitive science. A review of a baseline study identifies three key improvements for future research: building shared mental models across interdisciplinary teams, maintaining high experimental standards for control and replicability, and refining phenomenological interviews so the interviewer actively guides the interaction with the subject. These enhancements aim to advance understanding of cognition and experience.
