The DES method is clearly not the only avenue available for accurately exploring inner experience. For example, truly adept meditators in the Eastern tradition without doubt have a deeper and more accurate view of their experience than many non-meditators. However, the DES examples do establish, in our opinion, that most ordinary people can, with training that incorporates the critiques discussed here, accurately observe and report the features of their experience. Furthermore, the results of such explorations can be dramatically productive for cognitive science. It is our opinion that science should do more of them.
