An “epistemic add-on” to this problem was posed in a paper that uses the example of Commander Data’s trial in a Star Trek episode. This problem is “about the performance of functions” like reportability and requires an “extra ingredient,” in contrast to a related problem about functions themselves, according to a paper “Facing Up to” both. A garage rock band lends its name to a view supported by Colin McGinn that this problem is unsolvable by humans, called new mysterianism. The “explanatory gap” refers to the difficulty of physicalist models in solving this problem, the name for which was coined by David Chalmers. For 10 points, name this problem in the philosophy of mind that asks how neurological processes give rise to subjective experience. ■END■
