It is frequently argued that qualia are subjective and are impossible to re-create artificially. However, qualia are grounded in reality and therefore are not arbitrary. We show this for the quale color. The perceived color corresponds to a three-dimensional value that describes the...

Cognitive brain functions may occur either consciously or nonconsciously (on "autopilot"). Conscious cognition is marked by gamma synchrony EEG, mediated largely by dendritic-dendritic gap...
