>> Studying consciousness in neuroscience, I think, requires a knowledge
of what consciousness actually is. It's not impossible to study it -
Giulio Tononi at my institution is doing some research related to sleep,
and I think Tristan Bekinschtein at Cambridge is doing research on
'disorders of consciousness', but I don't know how you'd approach it
from computational paths since much of 'consciousness' is colored by
human emotions, which computers cannot simulate.
