So it sounds like he's talking about a specific type of phenomenology.

Scholar, I see.... Oh man, I love having access to university journal databases.

EDIT: upon skimming the latter of these two articles, I am quite pleased at how the researchers tackle the tricky part of subjective feeling of a person in an otherwise objective world, using both first person and third person data to attempt to reach conclusions. Worth mentioning here is how the stimuli is associated with other things subjectively that cannot be easily tested for objectively. Also, that it makes at least some sense.
