Theory of Mind and the hard problem: Here is the thought experiment: Scientists have developed a helmet that the subject wears, then the subject picks a playing card out of a shuffled deck and looks at it. The scientists are able to determine what card the subject is looking at with, lets say a 50% accuracy (when under 2% is predicted by chance.) Note that in this setup, the scientists are able to independently verify what card the person was looking at. Would such a result convince you that science understood the correlations of brain states to mind states well enough to solve the hard problem, or would you still not be convinced? If not, what would it take to convince you?
