--- abstract: "Various facets of the MBI are discussed, and how it can be used in connection with experimental philosophy, experimental psychology and neuroscience. Brief historical references are given. The large implications of the MBI with regards to McTaggart's paradox and the resolution of the difficulties with quantum mechanics is mentioned. Later sections deal with the mereological fallacy, multiple universes, teletransportation, mind cloning and mind splitting. Dreamwork is chosen as a prime example of the use of the MBI and recent work by Tononi and Baars is referred to.\r\n" altloc: - http://philica.com/display_article.php?article_id=139 chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: ~ conference: ~ confloc: ~ contact_email: ~ creators_id: - uvscience@gmail.com creators_name: - family: Yates given: John honourific: Dr. lineage: '' date: 2008-10-02 date_type: published datestamp: 2008-10-16 13:45:55 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/62/32 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 6232 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/6232/1/Experimental_philosophy_and_the_MBI.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: ~ lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:57:12 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: ~ number: 139 pagerange: ~ pubdom: TRUE publication: Philica publisher: Philica refereed: FALSE referencetext: "Appiah K.
