As mentioned in another comment, I’m perhaps most excited about the potential informativeness of (1) computational modeling of the sort I describe in section 6.2.4, (2) certain kinds of studies of human consciousness (Ctrl+F in the report for “perhaps the most promising path forward”), and (3) improvements to tools and techniques of human neuroscience that could help with (2) (Ctrl+F in the report for “we need fundamental breakthroughs”).
But if I spent ~10 hours on each of the suggested research ideas from section 5, I’d probably have a better sense of each suggestion’s cost and likely benefits, and my intuitions about prioritization would probably change.
You mentioned many avenues future research could take, but do you have any early sense of prioritization for those research questions?
