The Possibility of testing for consciousness - 2007/08/13 01:23 An important question central to this topic is whether or not it is even possible to test for consciousness. Assuming that consciousness is a purely internal process, then it seems logical that, like a zombie, a being that was not really conscious could behave so - fooling any tests. If soliphism is the case, though, sentience would be a part of your own mind - and could be determined by introspection - correct? Or would it still be impossible for some reason?
