It would be nice to believe that neuroscience is the key to consciousness, but so far philosophers and neuroscientists have not found a definite answer. So many theories arise from the question of what causes awareness/perception/experience and neuroscience is a strong theory, stating that neurobiological brain processes are the cause of conscious processes. If you want good material on neuroscience and philosophy coming together to answer consciousness you should read up on Roger Penrose's and Stuart Hameroff's studies on the idea that human consciousness is the result of quantum effects in the microtubules, which are the structural components within cells. |
