    It’s strange they are all engineering problems.

      Right? Where's the substrates of consciousness, or the actual solutions for protein/rna folding, or the requirements for evolution?

        Substrates of consciousness? You mean the neural correlates of consciousness which we already have?

          As a neuroscientist: no. Not what I mean.

            Then please enlighten me. What else do you want except what neural activity is necessary and sufficient for a conscious experience?
