Qualia of Sound

Qualia (from the Latin, meaning "what sort" or "what kind"; Latin and English singular "quale" (IPA: [ˈkwɑːle])) are most simply defined as qualities or feelings, like redness, as considered independently of their effects on behavior. In more philosophical terms, qualia are properties of sensory experiences by virtue of which there is something it is like to have them.

Whether qualia exist is a hotly debated topic in contemporary philosophy of mind. The importance of qualia in philosophy of mind comes largely from the fact that they are often seen as being an obvious refutation of materialism. Much of the debate over their existence, however, hinges on the debate over the precise definition of the term, as various philosophers emphasize or deny the existence of certain properties.

QUALIA - 感質。這個名字是來自拉丁文「qualia」,意即quality品質。在拉丁文裡,「qualia」代表腦部針對無法量化的品質差異之認知功能,是一種非常微妙、難以言喻的感官活動。QUALIA,構成人類感覺得一種獨特質感,心靈感動,讓人留下一生難忘的記憶,透過感覺、經驗、記憶、追求「幸福的感覺」;再將之寄託於「有形」的物體上,,讓人們留下驚奇和感動
