What does it mean, exactly, for a given system to be a "neural correlate of consciousness"?

Anyway, there is a lot of really interesting work going on in the neuroscience and psychology of consciousness, and I would love to see philosophers become more closely involved with this.

How does the water of the brain turn into the wine of consciousness?

Because the idea of zombies seems to make sense, and seems to, in a certain sense, be possible, I think one can use that to argue against the thesis that everything is purely physical. Now many people, I think, agree that the idea of zombies are conceivable, including people who want to be physicalists.

People have managed to avert their eyes and hope for the best.

Why should physical processing give rise to a rich inner life at all? It seems objectively unreasonable that it should, and yet it does.

My interests started about in science and in mathematics, I always thought I was going to be a mathematician.
