Experiencing Other Minds in the Courtroom

the long version

In 'Experiencing Other Minds in the Courtroom', Neal Feigenson turns the courtroom into a forum for exploring the profound philosophical, psychological and legal ramifications of our efforts to know what other people's conscious experiences are truly like. Drawing on disciplines ranging from cognitive psychology to psychophysics to media studies, Feigenson harnesses real examples of digitally simulated subjective perceptions to explain how the epistemological value of this evidence is affected by who creates it, how it is made, and how it is presented.
