Silence and its organization in the pragmatics of introspection

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In this article we examine periods of silence during introspective reports produced during an experimental laboratory procedure. Drawing from conversation analytic research and Sacks’s observations on silences, we argue that silences are a significant resource by which introspective accounts may be designed for the institutional requirements of the experimental setting. We identify the normative features of silence, and sketch some of the pragmatic or performative functions facilitated by silence. We conclude by considering our findings for the more general use of introspective data in the study of consciousness and cognate disciplines.

The effect of conscious states of neural activity
Publication year: 2008

Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
OBJECTIVE:
The goal of this research project is to examine the interactions between mental and neural activity. In
particular, whether the conscious states of a human observer can have an empirically detectable effect on neuronal activity.
METHOD:
The study used two experimental setups. Both created a cooperative interaction between a subject and a
separate neuronal system, based in one setup on EEG measurement from a second subject, and in the other on monitoring the activity in a neuronal dish. The EEG setup involved a player and a second subject. The player participates in a computer controlled tracking game developed for the study. EEG signals are measured from the EEG-subject. The success of the player’s game is dependent on a combination of the tracking action, together with a signal from the EEG recording. The experimental test is whether there will be a detectable interaction between the observer’s response and the recorded EEG signal. In the neuronal dish setup we placed a dish next to the player, with a physiologically active culture of rat hippocampal neurons. The cursor on the screen moves in response to the player’s strokes, combined with a signal from the neuronal culture. We then compare the dish signal during game and non-game periods.
RESULTS:
Overall, the EEG signal during game time was slightly increased, but a larger body of data will be required
for full statistical analysis. It will be of interest to incorporate learning algorithms to search for subsets of electrodes which show an enhanced effect. In the neuronal dish, considerable effort was invested in developing methods for growing stable active neuronal cultures. In most cultures, the variability in spike rates made it impossible to obtain statistically significant results. In only one dish culture was the activity during game and pause periods significantly different, and in this case the activity during game period was higher that during reference period.
CONCLUSIONS:
Both methods are novel and challenging, and required significant development work. The EEG-based method is less direct, but it proved more robust and easier to use. We have reached a stage where the collection and
analysis of a larger body of data for further statistical analysis is feasible. In the neuronal dish setup the variability in the signal across test game sessions is still high. Further testing will benefit from cultures, currently under development, with higher activity and lower variability.

Publication year: 2017

https://link.springer.com/article/10.1057/s41286-017-0041-y
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This paper describes a phenomenon in everyday interpersonal interaction in which one participant displays an awareness of another’s subjectivity via unusual turn design: a word selection error or a phrase that is conspicuously ill-fitted to the interactional moment for which it was produced. This phenomenon, called poetic confluence, has enigmatic properties, in that these oddities seem to exhibit one person’s apparent awareness of a co-participant’s interior subjectivity. The phenomenon is traced historically, via work in psychoanalysis and studies of conversational interaction. Three examples from the author’s corpus of instances are examined to identify the transactional dynamics that may be mediated in poetic confluence. The paper concludes by arguing that studies of the relationship between subjectivity and social action may be usefully informed by observations from research on everyday social interaction.

Poetic features of an ostensibly telepathic experience
Publication year: 2017

https://cdn.ulster.ac.uk/home/ulster-frontend/ipra/abstracts-2017.pdf
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
In this paper I examine on going research on form of interpersonal relationality that takes the form of a speech event in which one participant produces a spoken turn that exhibits a poetic relationship to a co-participant's unspoken thoughts or unarticulated mental imagery. I trace how this phenomenon was first reported by the Hungarian psychoanalyst, István Hollós, published in 1933, and then independently noted in a paper by Emanuel Schegloff in 2003. The data consist of retrospective reports of experiences, rather than recordings and transcripts of naturally occurring data. This reliance on retrospective reports is unavoidable given the nature of the phenomenon, and I will offer some remarks on strategies to overcome the problems of analysing reports of interactions rather than interactions themselves. The analysis draws primarily on my corpus of instances (though reference is made to cases from the papers by Hollós and Schegloff to establish the robustness of the phenomenon), and shows how poetic turns formulate modulated versions of others’ sensitive or delicate thoughts or imagery, thereby performing a form of Goffmanesque remedial work.

https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1360780418778860?journalCode=sroa
Abstract/Results: ABSTRACT:
This article is an exploratory empirical study of a form of interpersonal relationality that takes the form of a speech event in which one participant produces a spoken turn that exhibits a poetic relationship to a co-participant's unspoken thoughts or unarticulated mental imagery. The data consist of anecdotal reports, which are analysed in relation to empirical findings from conversation analytic studies of formulations in institutional and naturally occurring talk. The first part of the article establishes its robustness and describes some recurrent properties. The analysis shows how poetic turns formulate modulated versions of others' sensitive or delicate thoughts or imagery, thereby performing a form of Goffmanesque remedial work. In the discussion, methodological and substantive implications of this phenomenon are discussed, specifically: the use of anecdotes in sociological research, the porousness of personal boundaries, and theoretical accounts of relationality.
