| Abstract: | Philosophy of mind is typically an abstract, theoretical field of study which does not lead to empirical predictions. I argue that a theory of mind is stronger if it results in empirically testable hypotheses. This thesis specifically investigates the necessary conditions for testing functionalism. It does so by exploring how an experimental philosophy of neurotechnology could be used to this end, which entails that I analyze what is needed to test functionalism using neurotechnology. |
