100 ms in physical time ~ a moment in psychological time
Two elements of psychological time sensory simultaneity ・is described by synaptic interaction simultaneity ・compactifies spatio-temporarily distributed neural activities into sensory qualia. intentional simultaneity ・complements sensory simultaneity in the formation of percepts ・gives rise to spatial structures in perception
The intentional and sensory qualia
intentional qualia of “a man walking” sensory qualia of white dots in a black background
Intentional qualia; a Dalmatian Sensory qualia; blacks and whites
Intentional qualia; a cow Sensory qualia; blacks and whites

In the mirror test, mirror gazing time is maximum in the transition period(social behavior to self-directed action) (Reportedly only humans, chimpanzees, Orang Utans, and dolphins pass the test)

Chimpanzees exhibit social behavior to the mirror images because they can’t perceive intentional states in others?
