Gabriel Siegel's current research aims to better understand perceptual consciousness and explanatory practices in science. With respect to perceptual consciousness, he is especially interested in vestibular perception (which contributes to our sense of balance). His research demonstrates that attention to vestibular perception broadens our understanding of what we perceive in the world, it illuminates how self-consciousness surfaces in the context of perceiving our own bodies, and it reveals how understanding perceptual experience can contribute to medical diagnosis. In the general philosophy of science, his research investigates how scientists form explanations and make various phenomena in the world intelligible.
