ABSTRACT:
Sensory phenomena are immediate facts of experience and hence an indispensable source of scientific investigation, including neuroscience. As such, they are autonomous and entirely independent of the respective knowledge about sensory and brain functions. Various examples will be given that show how visual phenomena can serve as tools to uncover brain mechanisms. It will be outlined how Fechner’s inner psycho-physics and Köhler’s neurophenomenal isomorphism are precedents of present correlational neuroscience. Special emphasis is laid on the fact that phenomena represent a unique chance and challenge for neuroscientists to uncover brain mechanisms that
could not have been predicted from the physical properties of the stimulus.
