Abstract
The current scientific framework for the investigation of consciousness is the end-result of the Western intellectual tradition. It is shown that this tradition can be re-examined in terms of the Hindu concept of jnani, and that this approach could form the basis of a first-person science of consciousness. Electronic arts practitioners are presented as those who carry out a systematic inquiry into the subjective, and are well-equipped to contribute to the debates on consciousness.

Keywords
