Why would it have no sensation and experience? Give it some from a simple simulated environment and body. Assuming it takes a freshly dead brain, vitrified, ultra-microtomed, and scanned in to be reconstructed for simulation. The mind wakes up in a sparsely decorated hospital looking room, remembers having just been out for a walk and crossing the street, then something about an oncoming car. A friendly looking doctor appears through a window. "Morning," the doctor says, "you've been asleep a while and probably feel foggy and confused. You were injured, but your body healed a while ago. We can get to all your questions later. But first we want to test your thinking and rule out any brain damage... could you go to that computer and type out brief descriptions of the images that it shows you?" When the simulated mind gets frustrated with typing about pictures, and stops producing good output, clear the running simulation and load it from the start again, with new pictures. This gives a strong-AI image labeling system. For more in depth tasks more simulated world interaction is needed between waking up and getting some work out of the mind, but you can also try lots of times and variations to get that right and once the mind is at the work-table store the state right before the mind begins working. Use that as the starting point each time.
