From Wikipedia:
Neural correlates of consciousness:
A neural correlate
of consciousness of
consciousness makes sense:
there's a representation of a
dog in our
brain that corresponds to some degree
with the dog out there.
But we don't really understand
the emergence of our intrinsic sense of
consciousness
out of physical reality
NOR why our
perception
has the qualities it has: this is the
hard problem of consciousness:
for example, why does
visible light (fiducial range 0.4--0.7 μm)
look the way it does which is NOT something that can be deduced from
electromagnetism.
But in the opinion of many, we probably will understand these things, maybe even relatively soon.
