In this talk I will present an outline of IIT 4.0&#8217;s account of some qualitative contents of experience. First, I will introduce IIT&#8217;s methodology to study consciousness scientifically, highlighting its differences with respect&nbsp;to other approaches in philosophy and consciousness&nbsp;science. Then, I will provide an overview of the core concepts of the theory,&nbsp;with particular focus on the role of phenomenology, on the view of experience as a phenomenal structure, and on their implications for the&nbsp;understanding of consciousness in physical terms. Lastly, I will present IIT&#8217;s account of some key qualitative contents of experience (such as the extendedness of visual space and the flow of time).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"924\" height=\"907\" src=\"https:\/\/paricenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Grasso_pic.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-54344\" style=\"width:300px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/paricenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Grasso_pic.png 924w, https:\/\/paricenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Grasso_pic-300x294.png 300w, https:\/\/paricenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/Grasso_pic-600x589.png 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 924px) 100vw, 924px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Matteo Grasso<\/strong> works as a Scientist at the University of Wisconsin\u2013Madison.
