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.
These are two of Don Price's and Jim Barrell's earlier works. Barrell's book The Experiential Method: Exploring the Human Experience must be out of print. I went to Amazon.com and found one copy for sale for over $100. I have a copy if anybody would like to borrow it. Price and Barrell new book coming out in 2010 by MIT Press is entitled Science and Consciousness.
