The Hard Problem With Neurobiology
I think one of the things that makes the hard problem hard is just the fact that you can't even imagine looking at neurons doing something and saying aha that explains it. Even if neuroscientists got to the point where for every time that a person was doing something we would all recognize as having a conscious experience they could point to exactly the same neural activity going on in the brain you would say yes but this still doesn't explain my subjective experience. I mean Julia Tiononi has developed a theory integrated information theory where he says consciousness goes along with a certain mathematical measure of the integration of information that he calls phi and the more phi you have the more consciousness you have.
