The ever-increasing precision of brain measurement brings with it a demand for more reliable and fine-grained measures of conscious experience. However, introspection has long been assumed to be too limited and fallible. This skepticism is primarily based on a series of classic psychological experiments, which suggested that more is seen than can be retrospectively reported (Sperling, 1960), and that we can be easily fooled into retrospectively describing intentional choices that we have never made (Johansson, Hall, Silkström, & Olsson, 2005; Nisbett & Wilson, 1977). However, the work by Petitmengin, Remillieux, Cahour, and Carter-Thomas (2013) could resolve this dilemma. They showed that subjects can be interactively guided to become better aware of their past experience, thereby overturning the "choice blindness" results of Johansson et al. (2005). Although some more fine-tuning of the experimental protocol is needed, interactively guided introspection may well become the most reliable and exhaustive measure of consciousness.
大脑测量的精度不断提高，对意识体验的更可靠和更精细的测量提出了要求。然而，内省长期以来一直被认为是过于有限和不可靠的。这种怀疑主要基于一系列经典的心理实验，这些实验表明，我们看到的比可以追溯报告的要多（Sperling，1960），并且我们很容易被愚弄，追溯描述我们从未做出过的有意选择（Johansson，Hall，Silkström，&Olsson，2005；Nisbett & Wilson，1977）。然而，Petitmengin、Remillieux、Cahour 和 Carter-Thomas（2013）的工作可能解决了这个困境。他们表明，受试者可以通过互动指导更好地了解他们的过去经历，从而推翻了 Johansson 等人（2005）的“选择盲”结果。虽然实验方案需要进行一些微调，但互动式内省很可能成为最可靠和详尽的意识测量方法。
