Introspection [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Introspection, as the term is used in contemporary philosophy of mind,is a means of learning about one’s own currently ongoing, orperhaps very recently past, mental states or processes. You can, ofcourse, learn about your own mind in the same way you learn aboutothers’ minds—by reading psychology texts, by observingfacial expressions (in a mirror), by examining readouts of brainactivity, by noting patterns of past behavior—but it’sgenerally thought that you can also learn about your mindintrospectively, in a way that no one else can. But whatexactly is introspection? No simple characterization is widelyaccepted.
