Re:Scientific Theories of Consciousness - 2009/11/20 20:05 Whether or not technology can help us improve or enhance our consciousness remains to be seen. Along the lines of your thought, I'd say that the main role of technology in this field is to help us understanding how consciousness can be produced.

If you distinguish between consciousness itself (or phenomenal consciousness) and the contents of consciousness, then your thought could be redefined differently, i.e. let's say that technology might not enhance your consciousness but it can surely enhance the contents of your consciousness. In fact, the use of technology nowadays has expanded the mental contents we can be aware of, don't you think so?

Cheers,
Raúl.
