I don't agree with Penrose's hypothesis, I just happen to agree that strange quantum behavior is related to the character of our consciousness. Other than that my views are completely different. There is definitely a "binding" problem. Beyond the question of why the state of many disconnected neurons (or to go one level down, molecules) are subjectively experienced as a single consciousness, you also have the issue of why other neurons nearby are not subjectively experienced. After all, your consciousness doesn't even extend to your entire brain.
