3. The Philosophy and Science of Consciousness
Human and Machine Consciousness March 7, 2018 David Gamez
Consciousness research faces three hard problems: the impossibility of imagining the link between consciousness and the physical world, the difficulty of connecting conscious experiences of brain activity with other conscious experiences, and brute regularities between consciousness and the physical world that cannot be further explained. These problems are not unique to consciousness research; they also appear in physics and do not hinder scientific study. Consciousness can be measured, the physical world can be measured, and mathematical relationships between these measurements can be sought.
