Making the hard problem of consciousness easier
- rossdavidh 5y agoInteresting work and I'm glad it's being done, but none of this is about the "hard problem of consciousness". This is about the neural correlates of consciousness, which is the "not as hard" problem of consciousness. Again, interesting work and I'm glad it's being done. But once you know exactly which neurons, in what configuration, are responsible for consciousness, this still says nothing about the "so what? why does that result in qualia?" But, given that the hard problem is probably impossible to answer, this is a better problem for them to be working on anyway.
