Abstract

Open peer commentary on the article “Enacting the “Body” of Neurophenomenology: Off-Radar First-Person Methodologies in Pragmatics of Experiencing” by Jakub Petri & Artur Gromadzki. Abstract: Petri and Gromadzki are attentive to the need for the study of experience to incorporate new methodologies for the development and growth of neurophenomenology. In this commentary I would like to address two main issues: our position as individuals and as researchers in the neurophenomenological program and the importance of following the path of thick phenomenology in order to meet this challenge.
