Vision comes to mind

Journal/Book: Perception. 1995; 24: 207 Brondesbury Park, London, England NW2 5JN. Pion Ltd. 811-826.

Abstract: An overview is presented in which visual awareness is regarded as the epitome of the general mind-body problem. An experimental solution of the problem is considered first, followed by a philosophical outlook. It is argued that the scientific approach may eventually discover the neural correlate of visual awareness, but visual perceptions, even simple qualia like 'brightness' or 'color', occur in the mind of a conscious observer and are not reducible to observable activity of a specific set of neurons in the brain.
