DESCRIPTION:The problem of consciousness is the problem of how to understa
 nd how conscious events\, states and processes are realised in the brain. 
 In order to have an adequate conception of this problem\, we have to be ab
 le to state it in the clearest possible terms. Many philosophers and some 
 psychologists like to describe conscious phenomena in terms of 'qualia'\, 
 or simple intrinsic properties of experience. Some then go on to conceive 
 of a solution to the problem of consciousness in terms of finding the neur
 al correlates of qualia. In this talk I will explain the many confusions s
 urrounding the notion of qualia and why we should not think of the problem
  of consciousness in terms of this notion.\n
