Russell T Hurlburt

Russell T Hurlburt is a social psychologist and professor at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, known for his pioneering work in descriptive experience sampling, a method he developed to empirically investigate the contents of consciousness. Over his 50-year career, Hurlburt has focused on capturing the 'pristine inner experience' of individuals by using a beeper to prompt spontaneous reflections on their thoughts, challenging conventional theories of consciousness that prioritize verbal inner speech.
